USA - California. Judge Frank Fasel sentenced Billy Joe Johnson to death

Billy Joe Johnson has been sentenced to death. Orange County Superior Court Judge Frank Fasel handed down the sentence this morning after a jury deliberated. Johnson, 46, a white supremacist, was convicted 2 weeks ago by the same jury for helping to kill fellow skinhead Scott Miller in 2002. Johnson was already serving a 45 year sentence for killing a man, Cory Lamons, in 2004. In testimony earlier this week, Johnson testified that he wanted the death penalty because death row prisoners are afforded more outside, recreational time than prisoners in the general populace. Johnson also testified that he killed 2 other people, on top of the two that resulted in convictions, but refused to give details.
