“Jaclynn Johnson do you have anything to say to the Parole Board?” Yes, I think you guys are looking at the small picture. I need to tell why I did what did, where my bright life turned dark. To do that I need to start from the beginning the very beginning the start of everything. It was the year of 1989 in Richmond, Virginia. I was 18 years old.
