Sentencing Friday for woman convicted of murdering daughter, husband

A woman who shot her 14-year-old daughter and husband in their San Carlos condominium, then stayed with the bodies for three days before reporting the deaths, is scheduled to be sentenced Friday at the downtown courthouse. Regina Johnson, 60, was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder in the May 30, 2012, deaths of Aaliyah Johnson and Reuben Johnson. She faces 80 years to life in prison. Deputy District Attorney Nicole Rooney said the defendant and her daughter once had a good relationship, but circumstances in the house changed and nobody really knew what was going on behind closed doors. Johnson testified that she shot her 56-year-old spouse after he killed their daughter, but Rooney told jurors that “objective” physical evidence belied the defendant’s story, from cell phone records that tracked her husband’s movements to bullet trajectories and a jar of petroleum jelly that the teen was holding.
