  Owners of van company saw a good deed go bad

  By Corey Dade, Globe Staff, 5/10/2002

  Leon and Lula Mae Johnson had run their children's shuttle service to meet the needs of working parents and, when they could, do God's work of helping people turn around their fortunes.

  No one seemed more in need than Franklin Speed, who by age 27 had a long history of drug dealing, assault, and gun possession, but now wanted to follow a straighter path. Speed was about to be a father and wanted to make an honest living.

  The Bible says a man deserves a second chance, the Johnsons, who are Jehovah's Witnesses, believe.

  Thats awful.
  J.W.s or not,
  I actually cant believe "anyone" with any common sense would hire someone with that kind of criminal record for that line of work. Very poor judgement with tragic results.
  Criminal background checks are made available for peoples protection. They should be utilized, especially when there are children involved.
