On May 21st, Scott J. Johnson will be sentenced to mandatory life imprisonment for the acts that took place in the summer of 2008. He pleaded no contest to 1 count of second degree sexual assault, 6 counts of attempted 1st degree homicide, and 3 counts of 1st degree homicide. Most interesting and brutal of all is his utter lack of remorse concerning the events that led to this point.
According to this article from the Associated Press, Johnson compares the murders to a glass of spilt milk, conveying a sense that he can’t do anything but move on and not look back. He states the victims’ families will get no apology from him and he doesn’t “care what they think.”
Last summer, after raping a girl and considering the grim outcome Johnson decided he would prefer to either be killed by police or spend his life in prison than deal with the stigma of being a sex offender. As a result, he killed 3 teenagers swimming at a popular spot on the Minnesota Wisconsin state line before surrendering to police. read more
