So this guy was a freshman at Columbine on 4/20.

Quote :

Closing arguments in the penalty phase of the trial earlier this week focused on Johnson's criminal record and possible lingering effects of the Columbine High School shooting, which occurred when Johnson was a freshman at the school in Littleton, Colo.

Johnson's attorney emphasized the trauma of the shooting and presented 22 witnesses to speak on his behalf, also saying Johnson was known for heavy use of drugs such as Xanax, Benadryl and Ecstasy that would put him in a stupor.

The prosecutor emphasized the inconsistencies in the witnesses' statements and said Johnson leaned on his Columbine trauma whenever he acted out.

This was not a Columbine effect at all. Man this dude was on a concoction of drugs and he was doomed all along.

He is trying to say anything to get out of the sentence. Although I cannot get to that site for some reason I didn't get to read the article.

I get that he may have been traumatized but still. Not all students there on 4/20 have committed heinous crimes.
James Johnson was in they gym during the massacre. He was not in the commons or the library. It had to have been traumatizing but I can't see this ever working as a defense
