Fox News
A federal judge dismissed criminal charges against former Atlanta officer Sung Kim in the shooting death of Jimmy Atchison, ruling his actions were "textbook self-defense."
Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
Kim was indicted in December 2022 on charges including involuntary manslaughter, felony murder and aggravated assault in the wake of the 2019 killing of Atchison, the subject of an arrest warrant for armed robbery.
Brown’s ruling said Kim was a member of the FBI Atlanta Violent Crime Task Force and that Atchison fled from law enforcement when they showed up to take him into custody at an apartment complex in January that year.
