Baltimore, MD – A judge in Baltimore County has sentenced Nicole Johnson to life imprisonment, with all but 50 years suspended. This sentence follows Johnson’s arrest in July 2021 when police discovered the decomposing bodies of her 7-year-old niece and 5-year-old nephew in the trunk of her vehicle during a traffic stop.
In addition to the prison sentence, Johnson has been placed on five years of probation and is required to obtain mental health treatment. The judge has also barred Johnson from having any contact with minors under the age of 18.
Baltimore County Police Department has been involved in this case since the discovery of the children’s bodies. The case has attracted attention due to the severe nature of the crimes and the subsequent legal proceedings.
