Huge Sentence
A 30-year-old Baton Rouge man has been sentenced to 115 years in
prison for shooting and wounding two police officers in 2008. State District Judge Tony Marabella sentenced Christopher Joseph Johnson
to the maximum 50 years on each of two counts of attempted
first-degree murder of a police officer, and 15 years on a charge of
possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The judge ordered the
three terms to run consecutively.
