A Jury Seated In Clarence Johnson's Murder Trial

May 5, 2008
NEW ORLEANS —
A jury's been seated in the murder trial of a man accused of killing a Central City teenager. What's so disturbing about this case is the role investigators say his mother played.
Investigators say Clarence Johnson got into a fist fight with Robert Dawson last February. After losing the fight,
authorities say Johnson then took a gun and instructions from his mother to kill Dawson.
Johnson is charged with charged second degree murder. His 44-year-old mother Vanessa Johnson has been charged with principal to second degree murder. Her trial is set for a later time.
Attorneys say they're prepared to give opening statements tomorrow morning.
