Kathryn Johnston is finally receiving the justice she deserves. The 92-year old woman was shot by police officers in her Atlanta home. Three officers involved will serve five to 10 years each for gunning her down with 39 bullets, after police busted into her home to look for drugs, according to The Associated Press. The cops received wrong information from a drug dealer to get a warrant and tried to cover the error of her murder by placing drugs in her home. -CJ
