Nearly 1,000 “juvenile lifers” across the U.S. face a growing fear that they will lose their lives to COVID-19 before getting their chance at freedom.

To be sure, if you are sentenced to life, you were likely convicted of taking a life or being involved in such a grievous crime. Johnson shot three people at a laundromat in Union, Michigan, killing one of them, Diane VanStrum, 68, during a robbery attempt with a teenage friend that “shook the local area to its core,” according to Johnson’s prosecutor, Victor A. Fitz.

One person Johnson shot has lifelong brain damage, causing cognitive difficulties, Fitz said. The other was so emotionally scarred that she has become a recluse. When Johnson was a toddler in South Bend, Indiana, he watched his father wave a gun at his mother and beat her, often leaving her with broken jaws, missing teeth and black eyes, according to family members and his attorney’s description of a childhood history report to be filed in court. At age 11, he saw his older brother get shot and nearly killed in their front yard.

Well the 'innocent' Manafort and Cohen were released so the hell with everyone else

Tough! Next time, err, next life don't commit the crime.

Don’t do the crime it you can’t do the time

Now as for Coronavirus......

Hmmmmm. I wonder......were they sentenced under the same 94’ Crime Bill Law that JoeBiden wrote before he started kneeling & saying “you ain’t black” to black people? Asking for a friend....or two.

...Conflicts, isn't it... Can ask Donald Trump.

WELL IF THEY WOULD STOP RIOTING AND BURNING THEY WOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT COVID-19

What about the super spreading taking place in the streets all over the country right now? Anything on the future takedown of the Healthcare system in the coming weeks? Or the death and illness coming to the Dr's and nurses? Are they still heroes or was that a last week thing?

Kids don’t suffer any complications from covid 19 . Keep them in prison

Life sent,as teen, means that defendant inmate is where he belongs for doing a heinous act or acts. Lets release unstable, violent felony offenders with multiple counts. Heaven knows victims would take virus over their deaths.

Ok, thanks for the update. Hope they can talk to a prison counselor about those fears, while remaining incarcerated for their terms.

Life choices have consequences.

Fear getting covid and dying but didn't fear doing wrong like murder or such and going to prison?

The Dems & Socialists want to take ur guns away. This past week has proved police can not & will not protect you, your property & your neighborhood. Additionally, these perps are released because of Dem 'No Bail' laws so theyre are back on the streets within minutres.

Oh well

THUG LIFE looks like fun! 🙄🤗🇺🇸

Wow, I see you and MSNBC are tweeting the exact same story.

The lady he killed isn’t worried about dying from Covid-19. She gone already

With 104,396 deaths in the U.S. from Covid -19, this is the first Tweet that mentions 'Covid-19'

Flipping back to the murder hornets next?

😭 We need you alive.

Shouldn’t break the law then. This is still an extremely generous proposition even if it doesn’t come to bear

U just come 2 that conclusion? Nobody has said squat about the border? Things changed there? We heard a little about nursing homes & assisted living, less about Native Americans. Guess that don’t sell stuff from stores closing cause the discretionary income of people who

They have mask ?

When did it become fashionable for media to glorify criminals? Will the victims get their second chance?

🤣

Well if they're sentenced to life, then why would they be getting a chance at freedom? That's an oxymoron, isn't it?

Theres bo reason to have fear, there is 0% chance they die from Covid

DONALD DRUMPFFF IS A MADMAN

Don’t be a criminal

People under 50 yrs old have a .0002% of dying from Coronavirus = PROPAGANDA trash.

Either way life and freedom will be lost in America either from COVID 19 or the dominant virus of our time “Racism and Prejudice”. Pick one.

Not much sympathy from me.

So many juveniles dying of covid

What kind of third world country sentences children to life in prison? ...oh, wait...
