ATLANTA (CN) — A Florida man serving life in prison for two bank robberies in the early 2000s asked the 11th Circuit on Friday for a shortened sentence as he ages behind bars.
“It seems a bit disingenuous to say that now, 23 years after the conduct, when this man has had absolutely no history of violence while in prison, that he remains a danger,” said Lynsey Barron, the court-appointed attorney for 68-year-old Perry Johnson. “There has to be something more to justify why he still needs to die in prison.”
