A Sad Tale A Mother's Pain and The Liberal Media

A local Charlotte News Operation led the other day tells a sad story of a mother's pain:

A Charlotte mother is demanding justice three years after her son was shot and killed.

20-year-old Darnel Mills was a passenger in a car that police say was driven by 44-year-old Kehlan Johnson.  (Other reports say Mills was driving when Johnson shot him in the head) 

Authorities say Johnson ran away from the scene right after the shooting, but later turned himself into police.  Mills died from his injuries 9 days later.

Now, three years after his death, Mills’ mother has learned the suspect in her son’s murder has been offered a deal by the district attorney’s office.  An 8 year prison sentence.

“They let people out on bond that shouldn’t be on bond, repeat offenders.  This is my son.  You’re telling me I can’t fight for my son?  Even if we go to trial and we lose, I fought for my son,” says Tomaceeta Hampton, Mills’ mother.

Arrest warrants show Johnson has an extensive criminal history.  He was sentenced to 65 months in jail back in 1999 for robbery with a dangerous weapon.  Mills’ mother says the DA’s office offered him a deal after Johnson underwent several mental evaluations.

Johnson is expected to be sentenced in November. 

CP's take:

Sad indeed once again life on the street in Charlotte is cheap. Leave it to liberals to "spin" this story.

Johnson has remained in the custody of MCSO since his 2019 arrest. But dig a little deeper and Tomaceeta Hampton's son wasn't exactly a "good boy".

Darnel Mills was a wanna be gangbanger, his arrest in 1998 AWDWIKISI and discharging a weapon into an occupied dwelling or vehicle, and mugshot highlight his lifestyle as much as his face tats. 

and 1999 Intimidating Witness Felony Conspiracy conviction doesn't help the case.

Both arrests and the conviction paint him like his mug shot and give the impression of anything but a good boy.

Johnson's trial date for the murder of Mills is set on November 18th, 2022. CP expects the judge to accept the plea deal and that Johnson will serve another five years in jail before being released on Charlotte citizens once again.

So is this justice?
