Mr. Johnson was charged along with his co-defendants with murder and assault.

United States v. Rice, et al. (Mar 6th, 2012)
Thirteen individuals were charged with Conspiracy to Distribute Cocaine and Possessing Firearms. The federal government recovered approximately 22 kilograms of cocaine in excess of $250,000. The federal agents utilized search warrants and wiretaps to help in proving the conspiracy. The defendants filed a motion to suppress all evidence collected through the use of wiretaps alleging the wiretaps did not conform with federal guidelines. The federal district judge agreed and all charges were dismissed against the thirteen defendants. The case was appealed to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, OH. The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial courts’ ruling and all charges were dismissed. See, United States v. Rice, 478 F.3d 704 (6th Cir. 2007)
United States v. Dallas Day, et al.
Ms. Day was charged with purchasing methamphetamine precursor from a Florida pharmacy and conspiring with other individuals in Kentucky to manufacture methamphetamine. I persuaded the government to dismiss the charges against Ms. Day showing that the statute of limitations precluded them from going forward against Ms. Day even though the government moved forward with prosecution against the remaining co-defendants.
