Background (Preamble):
On January 9, 1981, 27-year-old Polk County Deputy Sheriff T.A. Burnham was shot and killed by Paul Beasley Johnson. Although this heinous crime occurred over 28 years ago, Johnson still sits on death row.
Deputy Sheriff T.A. Burnham was twenty-seven (27) years old when he was murdered on January 9, 1981. He would have been 28 that April. Two other people were also shot and killed that same night by Paul Beasley Johnson. Deputy Sheriff Burnham left behind his parents and his wife. Paul Beasley Johnson has been in the Florida Correctional System longer than the number of years that D/S Burnham was alive.
Paul Beasley Johnson has been tried and convicted for these crimes twice, the second time on appeal. Paul Beasley Johnson has been found guilty by a jury of his peers both times. At the conclusion of both trials, Paul Beasley Johnson was sentenced to the death penalty.
