Man Sentenced To 43 Years For Attacking Two UWF Students

January 15, 2013

An Escambia County man will spend the next four decades in prison for attacking two students at the University of West Florida.

William Isiah Johnson was convicted of burglary of a dwelling with assault or battery. Judge Ross Goodman sentenced Johnson to 43 years state prison.

On October 11, 2011, two UWF nursing students were attacked outside their apartment by defendant Johnson. Johnson hit one of the victims in the head, and kicked and hit the
other victim in the head and neck, according to court testimony. Johnson then forced his way into their apartment and took their television.

DNA analysis from FDLE confirmed the defendant’s presence at the scene.

    Judge Goodman did it right. Having known him for several years, I feel confident to say, if Judge Goodman could have sentened him to longer time, he would have! Thank you, Professor!!
