- A 22-year-old nursing student was found dead in her boyfriend’s car at a Mississippi graveyard on July 3. Bricen Rivers, the longtime boyfriend of Lauren Johansen, was released on bond after allegedly beating Johnsen while they were on vacation together in Nashville. Johansen’s father, respected surgeon Lance Johansen, pleaded with the judge to keep Rivers locked up, stating he believed Rivers would kill her if he were released. When Rivers posted bail, Johansen went missing. When police tracked down Johansen’s car at a cemetery, Lance Johansen’s belief became a reality. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber breaks down the tragic story with criminal defense attorney Danielle Jackson.

Hope the judge never feels safe again. As a father to a daughter none of that court staff would be safe. They aided a murderer in my eyes.
Bail is for NON-violent offenders, geez!! It's not rocket science...
Exactly! That judge really thought it was unfair for him to be incarcerated over being “too poor” how about too dangerous to be let out? After EVERYTHING HE HAS DONE IN THE PAST. My goodness, I am nauseous.
That’s not how the law was written. The judges “discretion”.
Wrong. Bail is expressed in the 8th Amendment to the Constitution and may not be “excessive.” There may be grounds to deny bail, but you can’t apply a blanket denial of bail whenever a defendant is accused of a violent crime. If that were the case, then innocent people could languish in jail for months for being accused of participating in a street fight before they had their day in court.
Yes, the system failed here, but you can’t fix the system by making impossible demands.
Bail is really messed up to the rest of the world. Only you guys have it. And, I suppose the Philipines.
@@archaeopteryx981And the constitution is wrong.

@@STCatchMeTRACjRo Oh, I think the judge was definitely part of the problem here, even if the system at large is a failure.
I don’t understand…when a bartender over serves someone and an accident occurs, they are held liable but judges who allow a criminal to be free and the worst occurs…nothing happens to them? Am I getting this right?
Im gonna be held liable for asking for your instagram
They have immunity
Such a great point. The hypocrisy is crazy.
interesting comparison...
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Why should violent people deserve bail?
Ask the demorats?
They don’t. At all. But local govt doesn’t think so. It’s all about that bail money, prohibition, court costs, and they just keep pushing everything back so that money racks up. They don’t care about any of us citizens.
It’s that simple…why? Early release and lowering bond should off the table with violent offenders. That woman was DESPERATE for help from the system and she got ignored and ended up in a grave smh
@@lamar310 people keep voting democrat. They are heavily lenient on crime.
@@chrislong8559 everyone involved was republican lmfao you're super super triggered
Leaving your abuser is the most dangerous time for the victim. They should not have let him step foot out of jail without an ankle monitor. The system failed this poor young woman. I am assuming no charges were filed for the previous incidents, which is a whole other issue. Relying on the victim to press charges just does not work. If there are visible injuries and enough evidence, the abuser should be locked up and the state should press charges. The way the system is handling these type of crimes is obviously not working....we need to figure something else out. Ankle monitor...microchip....shock collar....whatever it takes.
Exactly. People always say to "just leave" but they don't consider that the justice system does nothing to actually protect survivors
Here we go, abuser tales
They never even called her to tell her he was out. They never even gave her the heads up he was coming for her 😠 she had no chance because she had no idea where he was. This is unacceptable, this is why we have these alert systems in the first place for victims to be aware when their abuser gets released, and it was absolutely useless in this situation but because they didn’t use it and they should’ve.
Here we go, another non-net taxpayer opinion.
sadly ankle monitors don't do a thing :(
The judge should be in prison with that loser.
Absolutely!
I wonder how he would feel if it was his daughter?
In the same cell.

@@justinj2170 No, we need to work to educate you and your ilk on how laws work. Judges are bound by state laws - bond restrictions, minimum/max sentencing, etc. Unfortunately, you don’t know that and you’re also making political assumptions based on something that has nothing to do with politics. This is like Nazi Germany all over again with you weirdos, what - do you want liberals to wear identifying arm bands too? Someone needs to get a life.

Exactly my thoughts when I saw the mugshot!!
Yes I thought that too on the mugshot & looked through comments to see if I was alone in that 😬
@@Griftospherequalitycontrol uhhhhhh sorry what??
I thought the same thing
Privileged and "star football player" is what mattered to them. The father informed the judge in advance not to let him out.
I hope the father sues that damn judge. A woman in a powerful position who doesn't protect another woman, no excuse. The States is consistently failing in the justice system
90% of criminals will repeat the same action once theyre out of prison. The system is pathetically garbage. Rip to the poor girl
Even looking more generally, the statistic is lower. “A U.S. Department of Justice analysis of recidivism rates in 24 states concluded that 82 percent of individuals released from state prisons were rearrested at least once during the 10 years following release. Within one year of release, 43 percent of formerly incarcerated people were rearrested”

@@KendaleStevensonnonsense
lol where are your statistics from bc they don't seem credible
The justice system here protects criminals. I'm not surprised
When he failed to show for his monitor why didnt they put a BOLO out for him and contact family right then and there? The entire system failed this girl
98% of people in general are extremely lazy.
I wish the judges were held accountable when things like this happen.
Darrell brooks was let out on 1000$ bond-when he should’ve never seen the light of day-that same day he ran over 69 people-6 people killed.
They did a terrible disservice to this girl.
Wonder how that judge feels now? Should be held accountable!!!
agreed....I have an uncle who was murdered in NC, and his murderer was out on bail for attempted murder and armed robbery. HIs bail was lowered, and he was released just a year prior to my uncle being killed.
I disagree. Lauren continued to see her boyfriend while he was in jail and after his release.
I agree!
Unfortunately, judges are never held accountable.
Honestly sadly I don’t think she cares. If she truly cared she never would have let him out. Judges do this all the time and still don’t learn. It’s disgusting.
We need a federal law that holds activist DAs and judges criminally and civially accountable for cases like this.
Bail is not punishment, again bail is not punishment , in America we enjoy the presumption of innocence.
DEI hires need to stop
@@chrisdidonna7371 even in the result people die?
If they’ve received funding from S O R O S, they’ve allowed numerous citizens to be violated or killed by not prosecuting violent crime! Had happened numerous times in cities like San Fran, NY, Portland, Seattle, etc! It’s not a coincidence that all of these cities have crime rates that are rising at a astronomical rate!
@@STCatchMeTRACjRoAccording to the Founding Fathers, yes.
It is more dangerous that even a guilty person should be punished without the forms of law than that he should escape.

The ankle monitor would only have given a few hours of earlier warning. The instant that he failed to turn up for that should have raised the red flag.
Any kind of warning may have saved her. She was dead by the time they got around to call
It would have been enough as she was in an entirely different state, once out of range with monitoring it will go off and show exact location, they would have gotten to him before he got to her
He shouldn't have even been released until it was on. Why are they trusting him to go and put it on. But honestly monitors don't do crap because nobody really monitors them. Plus he could have just as easily cut it. He should NEVER have gotten bond to begin with. Violent offences should not be eligible for bond, especially when the facts are SO obvious.
It still doesn't make sense that 5 days passed and no one even cared he wasn't on the GPS tracker
The monitor should have been placed before he was released. Not after.
I'm from Nashville and so ashamed this judge let this monster out!! We got to get this judge out!!!

His parents will now lost the property they put up for bond, and her family should sue that county into oblivion. These egregious "oversights" won't stop happening until people take responsibility for the monsters they create. His family is 100% to blame. Period.
His parents are the most ignorant people. I do not understand why some parents will do everything for their criminal kids…
Um... sitting in jail because they are poor???? THEY ARE SITTING IN JAIL BECAUSE THEY DESERVE TO BE THERE!!!!
Not yet, they have not been sentenced and are only meant to set bail to ensure that they return to court. If the people want bail to be refused in cases like this, domestic violence, then the law needs to be changed.

He’s proved himself to be a total psychopath and they let him go.
The guy looks completely different in every picture. What a creep.

The judge should be held accountable as well
The older I get, the more I start to understand those "neck tie party's" they used to have under a tree or lamp post back in the day...
This *Weasel* is every parent’s nightmare, but for whatever reason, this Judge did not agree (In spite of the victim’s Father pleas) You beat up on a woman, and that in itself should be a NO BAIL offense ! SMFH at this insanity !!
Judge should be held accountable
This is why leaving abusive situations is incredibly difficult. The justice system doesn't care until you're dead.
The judge and whoever posted that bail need to be held fully accountable. And the fact that there is still a bond even AFTER he killed her shows how bad the laws of that state is. In NY and NJ you get NO bond after the murder. And he would have been allowed out without out of jail without a tracking mechanism on him.
Stop voting democrat and things will change on crime
He was caught red handed beating her in the car and reaching for a gun.... There was no allegedly... He should not have been let out. She probably didn't know she had to go in hiding. Maybe thought it was finally over.
Ladies, if your "man" ever hits you, even pretends to, even just once. you walk. and you keep walking. No man will EVER hit a woman. period.
Talk to Islam
Does that work the other way round too? Cause women hit men way more
@@bigthunder7002talk to christians too idk why yall think only a certain religion abuses women. Men of all walks of life and society all across the world abuse women. The world does not respect women period and THAT is the real issue for why these things keep happening.
To me it sounds like the accused/offender receives more consideration then the victims.
He's recently kidnapped, and beaten his victim bad enough to where she had to be in the hospital.
NOW they decide to set a high bond?! Our legal system is broken.
My condolences to her family, and loved ones.
Unfortunately it is called the criminal justice system for a reason
His bond money is more important than her
You caught that, too?
That’s why this country is riddled with crime. This guest is typical.
If someone has a prior criminal history or has a past of violence and domestic abuse, he should not be able to be bonded out or it should not have been lowered.
Why would the family of this killer post his bail, knowing how violent he is??
So sad she was so young, she didn't deserve to die.
This is so sad. They failed that sweet girl. Esp with failing at monitoring him & lowering bail, not notifying family. Sad. 😢
The state of Tennessee failed her by not notifying her family, by not putting the GPS tracker on him, and the judge failed her by lowering his bail. The system is broken.
Horrific no bond for violent DV cases!

Bond does not exit in other countries. Only in the US. It goes to show how much it's a BUSINESS. They don't care about people, only profit.
Just give him probation again 🙄, 🙄 Let his new girlfriend pick him up after his release. Nice work Judge
When I told my abuser I'd go into hiding to evade him, he said he would "hurt" my frail elderly parents to force me to come back . They couldn't even get an order of protection based on the threats, which would have allowed them to call the police as soon as he pulled up.
I literally had to wait for my parents to die, because I couldn't take that risk. I doubt he's the only abuser who has used that threat. Parents, children and other special people become pawns for abusers to intimidate and manipulate their victims.
My ex swore he would "blow my parents up". He's not the first and he won't be the last. I'm sorry that happened to you.
This is why domestic abuse is so scary and heartbreaking. I have a friend who is in a severely abusive relationship and she refuses to leave, so I just try to be as loving and supporting as possible. I pray it doesn’t end like this for her, and that one day she leaves.
You sound like a lovely friend. Please make sure to keep yourself safe, especially if she leaves, because sometimes DV abusers will turn to the victim's friends and family to take their rage out on
Another failure!! Another victim!!
Why is this not a Federal case? He crossed State lines(Tennessee to Mississippi) with, as it appears, intent to unalive the very person he was in jail for in the other State.
What the heck is going on in Nashville.. the judicial system there needs to be completely overhauled!! Hold theses judges and cops accountable
All of the Outsiders moving in and destroying the once Small Town charm. I am so glad it’s being exposed for what it is! A very overpriced overrated dangerous city!
Domestic Violence isnt taken seriously.
No it’s not! Especially in Nashville, it happened to me there, and justice/support systems weren’t in place. Peace was obtained by moving out of my home and Nashville
People, If someone is verbally or physically abusive once, just once, only once. Break up immediately and never talk to that person again, it is clear the system wont protect you. There is no reason for you to tolerate those types of things
Totally agree, if they hit you once no matter their reason why, they will hit you a thousand more times. Once is the only red flag you need, ,do not contact them or explain why you are breaking up or leaving, never do that....get support in place and leave in silence. Never ever take phone calls or accept any other contact from this person again.
Agreed. However, leaving is the most dangerous time. I would recommend to completely upend your life and run for it. That's what I had to do.
stop victim blaming
@@MissPepperss no one is victim blaming… you lack reading comprehension
@@illdoitwhenpigsfly yep, and leave your car behind “sell it” because a lot of these creeps put GPS devices on the cars so even if you run away they’ll know exactly where you are… also, factory reset your phone or just leave your phone behind because they could’ve downloaded a gps tracking app on your phone without your permission or knowledge…
It is statistical FACT that the most dangerous time for a victim of domestic abuse is when the relationship ends and they leave/escape/seek protection. I genuinely believe that any DV case where an actual, legal criminal charge is involved, the suspected individual should under no circumstances be allowed to post bail, precisely for reasons like this. Failures at every level of this case and so heartbreaking.
Yall gave him another bail wooww
The US is a crazy country. He is now on a $1million bond? So you're saying if he could afford to pay it, he would be out again (until trial)? Does that make sense?
How about not releasing those mofos withouy the gps first? You trust a violent domestic abuser to go to a store to have them put one on? Are you fn kidding me?
“ and this is so people aren’t just sitting in jail….”
Ma’am, some people NEED to be sitting in a jail poor. Give me a break.
“…for being poor”
You completely misquoted her and missed the point.
This is why you don’t let criminal out
This happens way too often. A dude who has already proven he is ready to seriously hurt a woman, and the system has no problem releasing him.
When a parent loses a child due to murder that parent should be allowed 5 minutes of time to do whatever they want to the murderer of their child. Anything goes with no repercussions because there's nothing worse than a parent losing their child due to murder. My prayers go out to this father I can't imagine the anguish and pain he feels inside as well as frustration.
Something similar happened in cc tx. A man was released from jail after violating probation. His mother testified, begging the judge to let him go home. The judge did so. A month later the guy was back in jail. He had killed his mother and burned the house down
Well he’s back in jail now. It only cost a life to keep him behind bars. I guess that’s the only way for these judges
the system makes me sick
They should tell them weeks ahead of time in case she decides to should move. This guy was dangerous she had no chance. Unbelievable they system is so broken.
Any judge that gives bail to a guy like this as well as someone suspected of attempted murder or murder should not be allowed to have bail.

We often hear 'the system failed,' but it's time to hold individuals accountable for their actions.The judge and the entire judicial system should also be liable.
This is the judges fault.
The blame goes squarely on the judge, no shame in putting the blame here. Judge felt sympathy for a serial manipulator and this happened. The judge’s judgement is 110% to blame.

Lousy system and lousy judge. I can't imagine our justice system is so lax and might as well be nonexistent.
When are these judges going to investigated and held accountable for their decisions !! It’s simply heartbreaking …. There should be NO BOND for DV perpetrators … It’s like he almost killed her once and the judge gave him his freedom back to go finish the job !
I hope she has nightmares for her irresponsible judgement !
Judges need to start being held accountable for letting monsters go free. Absolutely unacceptable.
Its called the "Injustice system" now 😢😢
This makes me so freaking angry! He should not have had his bail reduced and he absolutely should not have bail now! Why do they keep giving this psycho opportunities to get out and do more harm?!
