Orren Johnson sentenced for role in Bear shooting
While the crime he was convicted of carries a mandatory punishment of life imprisonment, Orren Johnson, 28, was present in Prince Albert court today, March 22 to receive his sentence.
Johnson, 28, was convicted and sentenced for his role in the 2014 shooting of 17-year-old Clayton James Bear. After a lengthy trial last month, a Prince Albert jury found Johnson guilty of first-degree murder and co-accused 23-year-old Jordan Herron guilty of second-degree murder for their roles in the murder.
Johnson, wearing a black hoodie, black pants and leg irons, declined his opportunity to speak before his sentencing and appeared stoic throughout.
“I have nothing to say,” Johnson told the court.
