Andrew Golden Deposition Temporarily Blocked:
The attorney for the Jonesboro shooter that hasn’t been rearrested, yet, Andrew Golden, is filing a petition to keep a deposition private. The deposition is for a wrongful death suit stemming from the Jonesboro shooting.
Apparently Golden is trying to keep a low profile. He seems to be learning from Mitchell Johnson’s mistakes.
Prosecutor: Ark. school shooter not mistreated in jail:
An investigation by the local sheriff’s department turned up no evidence of prison abuse claimed by Jonesboro gunman Mitchell Johnson. Johnson had claimed he was being abused by guards an inmates.
Chief Deputy Prosecutor Shane Wilkinson told The Associated Press the investigation by the Benton County Sheriff’s Office found “there was absolutely nothing to his claims, period.”
Johnson is in jail awaiting a trial on felony theft charges.
School shooter claims assault by inmates, staff:
Let me get out the violin for this one…
Jonesboro school shooter Mitchell Johnson claims he’s being picked on by inmates and staff while in the Benton County jail.
Boo-freakin’ hoo.
Johnson said he’s been physically assaulted by inmates and staff, according to McElveen, and Johnson believes the abuse is because of his role in the Jonesboro school shootings.
Isn’t that a shame.
Don’t like jail? Stop committing crimes.
Attorney Finds Andrew Golden, One Of Jonesboro School Shooters:
Andrew Golden, the other Jonesboro gunman, has been tracked down by a lawyer representing the victims’ families.
The article doesn’t say where Johnson was but that he was found and subpoenaed in the lawsuit against him and Mitchell Johnson.
If you’ll recall Mitchell Johnson gave his deposition prior to his recent troubles with the law. In that deposition, he laid the blame entirely on Golden.
Jonesboro Shooter Pleads Not Guilty To New Charges:
Jonesboro gunman Mitchell Johnson pleaded not guilty this past Tuesday to the theft charges against him.
Johnson is accused of taking a debit card that a customer lost in the mini-mart and using it.
Johnson is now back in jail for violating his bail agreement while he was awaiting sentencing from his federal firearms trial.
Johnson suspected in theft of debit card:
Jonesboro gunman Mitchell Johnson just can’t catch a break, not that he deserves one.
While he stews in a Bentonville, Arkansas jail for his latest misdemeanor drug possession, it turns out that Johnson may have had his hand in another crime, using a stolen ATM card. He allegedly took it when a customer at the gas n’ gulp that he worked at left the card at the store. Johnson was ID’d by an employee of one of the places he allegedly used the card at.
Karma ain’t even close to punching your card yet, son.
Jonesboro School Shooter Arrested Again:
When you’re awaiting sentencing on federal drug and gun charges, the smart thing to do would be to not get arrested again on drug charges. Apparently, Jonesboro gunman Mitchell Johnson isn’t that smart.
He was arrested yet again Sunday night for being in possession of misdemeanor amounts of marijuana.
I’m sure the judge will take that into consideration at his sentencing.
Federal court jury convicts Jonesboro school shooter:
Mitchell Johnson was convicted today on federal weapons charges. The best part is that the prosecution didn’t even bring up Jonesboro to do it.
Government lawyers did not bring up Johnson’s violent past. The only clue during the two-day trial came during jury selection, when potential panelists were asked one-by-one whether Johnson’s name sounded familiar.
The husband and son of one of his victims attended the trial…
Mitch Wright, the widower of a teacher killed March 25, 1998, watched Tuesday’s court session along with his son Zane, who was 2 at the time of the shootings and is now 12. Wright said the boy “wanted to see what this person looked like.”
Johnson will be sentenced within the next 45 days. He’s looking at a 10-year maximum.
Weapons trial begins for Jonesboro school shooter Johnson:
The federal weapons trial for Jonesboro shooter Mitchell Johnson started earlier today.
In opening statements, the prosecution stated that Johnson is a heavy marijuana user and had a nickel-plated 9mm in his possession at the time of the traffic stop on New Year’s Day 2007.
The defense says that Johnson was pulled over on a bogus tip that Johnson was in possession of 100 pounds of marijuana, and that police were looking for any reason to pull him over.
The article also contained this little gem of information…
Johnson left prison with an “adjudicated” record _ meaning he could own firearms.
I really hope the state of Arkansas closed that loophole too when they fixed the law that allowed Johnson and his cohort Andrew Golden to be released.
The cop that pulled Johnson over testified that he saw Johnson driving erratically but admitted that he was looking for a legal reason to pull Johnson over.
I’ll admit the evidence against him seems pretty flimsy, but Johnson should have never set foot out of jail in my opinion.
Thanks to everyone who sent in tips.
New Trial to Begin for School Shooter:
It seems that Jonesboro shooter Mitchell Johnson was on his way to California to make a new life for himself. Too bad he got caught traveling with another convicted murderer, and marijuana, and a gun.
“Honest to God, I’m just trying to get to Cali, man,” Johnson told deputies as they searched the loaded-down, 1980s Ford van at a Fayetteville convenience store. The incident was recorded on video.
Awwww…isn’t that cute?
And it seems that he had just received the gun prior to his arrest on New Year’s Day 2007.
Johnson lived in North Carolina and California for a while. He even returned to Jonesboro over Christmas 2006, where Craighead County Sheriff Jack McCann had warned that deputies “couldn’t guarantee” the safety of either him or Golden.
He received a silver 9 mm Lorein pistol as a present and practiced “target shooting” near the city.
Who in the blue hell thought it was a good idea to give a convicted school shooter and murderer another gun?
Since he had already lived in California and returned to Arkansas, it proves the old adage. You can’t go home again. Or maybe that should be, you shouldn’t go home again.
