Johnson is the first to admit: ‘My life began to spiral out of control. No mother should have to bury her child. This weight was unbelievable and it was a burden I couldn’t sustain. I made some very poor decisions out of desperation.’
Those poor decisions involved becoming a telephone ‘mule’ for the drug traffickers, passing messages between the distributors and sellers.
Ultimately, she was caught and punished., handed a life sentence without parole for drug conspiracy and money laundering.
