Man sentenced to death in Casey Williamson killing:

"A judge sentenced Johnny Johnson today to die for beating of 6-year-old Cassandra "Casey'' Williamson with bricks and a rock in an abandoned glass factory in Valley Park.

"This was perhaps the most heinous crime I have had occasion to preside over in my 10 years on the bench,'' said St. Louis County Circuit Judge Mark D. Seigel in imposing the jury-recommended sentence. "There are no winners here, only losers, and the biggest loser is Casey.''

I know Casey's mother and two of her aunts. I'm glad this case is finally closed. They will never have complete closure, but at least the trial is finished and this creep won't be back on the street.
