    Coverup, Injustice, LaVena Johnson

    By chitownguy  |  Posted August 20, 2009  |  chicago, Illinois
     

    LaVena Johnson,

    The 5-foot tall, 100-pound woman had been struck in the face with a blunt instrument, probably a weapon. Her nose had been broken, and her teeth knocked back. There were bruises, teeth marks and scratches on the upper part of her body. Her back and right hand had been doused with a flammable liquid and set on fire. Her genital area was bruised and lacerated, and lye had been poured into her vagina. The debris found on her suggested her body had been dragged.

    And despite all this mutilation, she was fully clothed when her body was found in the tent, with a blood trail leading to the tent.

    Despite the overwhelming evidence, the Army has refused to investigate..
