I despise that vanity collar trick the lib female judges indulge in. She thinks she's another Ruth B. Ginsburg.

A Mississippi college student, 22, was discovered beaten to death and covered in a sheet in the backseat of her vehicle last week. The girl’s father had previously warned a judge that her boyfriend would kill her if he was released from jail.

Johansen’s father went on to say that his daughter’s boyfriend, Bricen Rivers, 23, had recently been released from custody following his arrest for aggravated kidnapping after severely assaulting Johansen and holding her captive during a trip to Nashville, Tennessee, back in December.
When officers found the couple in December, Johansen was furiously banging on a car window and yelling for help. She had a laceration to her head, her eye was swollen shut, and the vehicle had blood spattered at the front, according to court records, Channel 5 Nashville reported.
“You can see what happened when he hit her 100 times back in December, so just imagine what he did to her when nobody was around to save her,” her father, Lance Johansen, said.
“I sat in the courtroom in Nashville and told the judge that if they let him out, he was going to kill her,” the deceased girl’s dad told WLOX. “He had assaulted her—this was probably the fifth or sixth time where they would get into a fight and he would beat her.”
The accused assailant, Rivers, is now being held on a $1 million bond and is back in jail.
After a six-hour manhunt, he was apprehended last Thursday, July 4th, according to NOLA.com
The 22-year-old’s father, an orthopedic surgeon, said that Lauren Johansen had been pursuing a nursing degree at the University of Southern Mississippi.
When Lauren’s sister awoke alone in their shared Hattiesburg apartment on July 2nd, the sisters’ front door was wide open and their security camera was shattered. This led to the initial report of Lauren’s disappearance.
Her father also received a signal that morning indicating that her location-tracking app, Life360, had been turned off.
After filing a missing person’s complaint with the Hattiesburg Police Department, he received word the following day that her car had been found in a nearby cemetery by the cops.
“I knew she was dead,” Lance Johansen told the outlet, going into detail how she was discovered wrapped up in trash bags and a sheet in the backseat of her vehicle.
“She was basically beaten to death. Her face was smashed in, her head was smashed in, she was brutally beaten to the point she couldn’t see out of either eye when she finally died and there was multiple holes in her head,” he added.
“I helped the coroner lift her body out of the car. It was just mutilated.”
The devastated father said that Rivers’ bond should never have been lowered and lashed out at the Tennessee criminal justice system for abandoning his family.
“I think the criminal justice system in Nashville, Tennessee, failed my daughter and our family. The world shouldn’t work this way,” he told the outlet. “She was really beautiful, super, super smart. She had dreams and hopes that were larger than life. Everything she did, everything she touched.”
After seven months in jail, Rivers’ bond had been reduced from $251,000 to $150,000 by Judge Cheryl Blackburn, according to Channel 5 Nashville. Many community members are now declaring that the judge has “blood on her hands.”

They like playing God with peoples’ lives
Bring out Old Sparky.
Horrible, just horrible! What an evil old woman!
THAT FING “JUDGE” SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH HIS CRIME ALSO.
If I were that girl’s father and that bastard ever set foot outside of a jail cell, he wouldn’t get more than a dozens steps.
The father should have bought her a gun and taught her how to use it.
You go girl! You show those oppressive white males just how good you are at bein’ a judge!
Exactly why wasn’t she armed.
The police are along and times away when someone is trying to kill you.
******
And what attracted her to that loser in the first place? The women of prior generations would have seen right through him.
I despise that vanity collar trick the lib female judges indulge in. She thinks she's another Ruth B. Ginsburg.
She is certainly unprepossessing.
Apparently she is judgement impaired like Joe. How many people’s lives were ruined while she was allowed to continue. This poor young girl, Lauren Johansen, was killed and her family devastated by this judge’s malpractice.
“The longtime jurist, who is now in her mid-70s and suffered a stroke in 2021, stumbled over her words while addressing the jury, repeating or restarting words as she spoke. In one instance, she mistakenly said “probation” instead of “process.” The next day, after mixing up a series of names, she assured the courtroom, “I’ll get this right.” Then, later that afternoon, she appeared to fall asleep multiple times. The Banner was present for four of the trial’s five days, each of which featured moments when the judge seemed confused, tongue-tied or asleep. At the end of the week, the jury found the defendant guilty.”
No chix in the Judiciary...live and learn.
Bring out Old Sparky.

And time it’s use during brown outs.
chix
Non gender specific term I assume.
I would like to use it. And will give my generally neglected “X” key some use.
That executation was at the Baton Rouge airport and caught on Camara. The father via jury nulifacation walked.
Terrible—terrible vanity. Another trait just like R. B. G. Can the family sue the bar association or the court system?
Terrible
Nashville Mississippi axis
I haven’t read the story, but these are things I see on my true crime TV reports.
Usually a white woman and a black man. Not sure if this is the case here. Just sayin’...
