Johnson was sentenced to 22 years in jail and 18 years of extended supervision after pleading guilty to first-degree reckless homicide. The second accusation of attempted armed robbery was dismissed.
“Words cannot make up for what I’ve done,” Johnson said in the courtroom. ” Every night goes by, every sun comes up, and there isn’t a moment in time where I wish I could take back what I’ve done. I do have regrets for what I’ve done. I do have a heart. I was just not thinking clearly at that time.”
