In late June, judges in the Idaho Supreme Court upheld a jury verdict that Sarah had brutally murdered her parents in 2003, a case solved by DNA and the then-16-year-old's suspicious behavior shortly after the bodies were found.
It was a case that made headlines and tore apart the Johnsons' family. Now Sarah Johnson's last chance hinges on convincing a trial judge in Hailey, Idaho that her attorney didn't provide her with proper representation.
Five years ago, Alan and Diane Johnson seemed to have a picture-perfect life. The longtime sweethearts, who had been together for 20 years, lived in a beautiful home on the outskirts of Sun Valley, Idaho. Alan was part owner of a landscaping company and Diane worked at a medical clinic. They treasured their family, which included two children, 22-year-old Matt and 16-year-old Sarah.
But just after Labor Day weekend in 2003, that happy family life abruptly came to an end -- Alan and Diane were brutally executed in the bedroom of their home. For investigators, the first clues in the shocking case came when they discovered that Sarah had fallen in love with an Mexican man, who was in the country illegally. Alan and Diane did not approve of their daughter's relationship with Bruno Santos, a 19-year-old high school dropout from a poor home across town.
Wow, you keep sinking lower and lower. I am just waiting for your yes men and women on here to come defend this post.
That would be your buddies. What really bothers all of you is that you can't shut me down by personally attacking me because you don't like the information I post. Again, I'm not the author or the perpetrator of the crimes I just post them.
As for the personal jabs? I simply return them by giving as good as I get. I can roll with the best and the worst of you.
When any of you post one, I'll be happy to respond. Thus far all I've seen from your side are personal attacks, whining, slow singing and flower bringing.
Feel free at any time to address me with something of substance and I will be more than happy to have a logical, intelligent debate.
