Army Soldier Sentenced for Killing Pregnant Wife
A Hawaii-based U.S. Army soldier, Pfc. Dewayne Johnson II, was sentenced to 23 years in prison for the voluntary manslaughter of his wife, Mischa Johnson, and their unborn child. Johnson, who pleaded guilty to several charges, admitted to killing his wife with a machete during an argument and subsequently dismembering her body to conceal the crime. Despite his remorse, Johnson’s actions led to a maximum sentence, and he will also face a dishonorable discharge and confinement at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
