SUMMARY: Myles Flint Johnson, a 53-year-old man from Canton, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for the second-degree murder of his wife, Kristi Johnson. Following a three-day trial in Madison County, he received the maximum penalty without parole.

He initially claimed it was a suicide but later stated it was accidental during a fight. The trial revealed a history of domestic violence, prompting the District Attorney to stress the case’s significance in addressing domestic abuse.
