Anita Joy She told TMZ that she was happy and relieved to learn that three people were arrested and convicted of murder, but added that true justice would be to see these men convicted of felonies.
Johnny’s friend said she was optimistic that would happen because all the suspects had been released on high bail. She initially feared the suspects wouldn’t be tried as adults – and based on what she saw the night of the murder, she thought they might be minors.
However, all three are over 18, so they will be tried as adults.
