This fool got less jail time for repeatedly raping his step daughter over a 3 year period than the teachers involved in the Atlanta school cheating scandal.. The power of money and white privilege is something else.. ughh!

"You used to be so cool, but now, you know you're so cold"

Rest In Peace, Bad News Brown

Exactly, thats what makes it even more messed up.. You get more time fixing test scores than you do sexually assaulting a child. SMH

"You used to be so cool, but now, you know you're so cold"

insisted on playing the victim, making excuses and blaming others for their own folly all on the taxpayers' dime. But yeah! I do agree that 4 months for sexual assault (he pled guilty, though) compared to 3 years for racketeering (only because the judge regretted his original ruling of giving them a longer sentence) is some BS.

Rest In Peace, Bad News Brown

1. he was originally charged w/felonies but the prosecution had proof problems so the charges were reduced:

"Johnson, 59, was charged in 2011 with felony sexual assault but prosecutors had to seek lesser charges because they were unable to get cooperation or necessary records from the victim, Racine County District Attorney Rich Chiapete said on Friday.

Johnson faced up to 40 years in prison on the initial felony charges that alleged multiple incidents from 2007 to 2010, starting when the victim was 12 years old."

2. the defendant pled guilty and accepted responsibility for his conduct:

"'I'd like to deeply apologize to my stepdaughter and my wife ... for the tremendous hurt that I have caused,' Johnson said during his sentencing on Friday, a video of which was posted on the Racine Journal Times newspaper website.

3. the teachers who were slammed w/harsh prison sentences refused to plead guilty or accept responsibility for their conduct:

"'I didn't take the deal because I'm innocent,' Diane Buckner-Webb, a former elementary teacher sentenced to a year in prison plus four years of probation, said at a news conference at which seven spoke. 'I didn't cheat. I'm not a racketeer.'"

fuck you.

Yea.. not getting cooperation from the victim, obviously is an issue. No doubt the mother had everything to do with that. Makes me wonder who exposed this guy in the first place.

How was he discovered ?

"You used to be so cool, but now, you know you're so cold"

so much as your level of contrition?

But maybe he paid someone off

Maybe it impacted this case maybe it didn't

But it's no revelation that the system is stacked in favor of the wealthy.

But that has always been the case and everywhere not just the U.S.

dude

when it comes to post-trial sentencing - absolutely.

however, this Racine guy entered an agreement w/the prosecutors instead of insisting on a trial. he received a relatively light sentence b/c of the level of his charge(s) - misdemeanor as opposed to felony. he only faced misdemeanor charges b/c the prosecution had proof problems w/its case. i dunno if the defendant was instrumental in causing the proof problems (did he pay the girl's family to secure their lack of cooperation which ultimately sank the prosecution's felony case?).

those ATL teachers who received harsh sentences did so b/c they weren't contrite - they went to trial and at sentencing they refused the prosecution's and the judge's offer which could've resulted in them receiving relatively light sentences. another teacher in the same case who accepted the deal was not sentenced to prison time.

fuck you.

I can't argue with that..

"You used to be so cool, but now, you know you're so cold"

To pay off the witness and make it an unprovable crime was still the main reason he got a light sentence. If he had been contrite after losing a felony sexual assault case because be couldn't pay off the witness then this would have been a different story.

Since his step daughter wouldn't cooperate that was pretty much it.. I still wonder who alerted the authorities.

"You used to be so cool, but now, you know you're so cold"

he would be going to prison, most likely. however if he accepted responsibility for his conduct at his sentencing hearing he may have faced less prison time than if he hadn't.

fuck you.

Frustrated prosecutors filed a "Justification for Amendment of Charges and Proposed Resolution" to explain the plea deal. Repischak detailed the increasing lack of cooperation by the victim and her mother, who each had separate lawyers. The girl had challenged a court proceeding to force her to come from North Carolina, where she now lives, to testify.



The charges grew out of Johnson's purported statements to his therapist in Arizona, who was required by law to report any potential child abuse to authorities. Prosecutors tried repeatedly to gain access to records of those counseling sessions. When an Arizona court compelled the records holder to bring them to Wisconsin for a private review by the Racine judge, Johnson appealed, and the issue is still pending in the Arizona Court of Appeals.

"You used to be so cool, but now, you know you're so cold"

there was probably an internal struggle on the part of the therapist to disclose that information, but then ultimately decided to do what they are required by law to do. i bet it wasn't easy for the therapist, though.
