According to the National Registry of Exonerations, Johnson was exonerated in 2016, spending nearly two decades in prison for a murder charge in Ohio.
The Ohio Innocence Project took on their case.
In 1996, he and his two friends were convicted of murdering a teenager in Cleveland. The three were known as the ‘East Cleveland Three’ and would all eventually be exonerated. “It's been some ups and downs. It ain't all been cookies and cream, but I’d rather struggle in society than rather be in prison for a crime I didn’t commit,” Johnson told us as he sat in a chair getting ready for dental work.On Saturday, he was one of about a dozen people getting free dental work from Arrowhead Dental Group, which was taking part in the Smile Generation Serve Day.“Usually on a day like this, I try to take care of the more expensive stuff.
While getting free dental work is only one aspect of getting care in his life, Johnson’s continuing his fight to move on from a difficult past. “At first it was hard, but I've been home eight years. Like I said, it's been some struggles. But if you got good people around, you got faith in God, you can make it through anything,” he said.
