In an open letter to Columbia Countians, its District Attorney Bobby Christine writes an urgent alert that opens with bold, capitalized letters: THE GEORGIA BOARD OF PARDONS & PAROLES HAS VOTED TO GRANT A TENTATIVE CLEMENCY RELEASE TO WILLIE L. JOHNSON.
Columbia Co. DA Bobby Christine
The Board is expected to vote on a final decision soon, so Christine writes, “A network of law-abiding citizens is necessary to protect our quality of life.

The following is the entirety of the district attorney’s detailed and impassioned letter:
In 1986 Willie L. Johnson, dressed in an Army uniform he was not entitled to wear in order to trick young wives of soldiers while their husbands were on duty at Fort Gordon (Eisenhower), attacked on separate days three women. This predator bound, gagged, violated, brutalized, raped, sodomized, burglarized and robbed members of our community, one of whom was four months pregnant.
