Carr’s request, issued Monday, raised questions about two district attorneys from the offices of Brunswick and Waycross Judicial Circuits. Specifically, it cited concern “that the actions of these offices in possibly misrepresenting or failing to disclose information during the process of appointing a conflict prosecutor to investigate the death of Ahmaud Arbery may have constituted unprofessional conduct” in addition to “other crimes....

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 was originally a PSP game that served as a prequel to the wildly popular 1997 JRPG. Released in 2007, Crisis Core had never made the jump to platforms outside the PSP until the announcement of Crisis Core Reunion.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion has already showcased some impressive graphical upgrades, bringing it closer to modern standards....
