Joshua Johnson, who was accused of killing 17-year-old Riley Whitelaw in a Colorado Springs Walgreens breakroom in June 2022, was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison…
A jury found Joshua Johnson guilty of first-degree murder, and 4th Judicial District Court Judge Eric Bentley sentenced Johnson to life in prison on Wednesday, 4th Judicial District Attorney Michael Allen said at a news conference.
Johnson was arrested after he was found by the Colorado State Patrol walking along Interstate 25 near Trinidad with scratches on his hands and face. Whitelaw’s legacy will include a law passed this year to protect juvenile victims, witnesses and their families, Colorado Springs Police Chief Adrian Vasquez said.“Today we stand together as a measure of justice has been found,” Vasquez said. “While we know this verdict can’t bring Riley back, we know her legacy of being a kind and loving person will live on through her family and her friends and the legislation brought about in the wake of this tragedy.
