Feb. 6—WILKES-BARRE — An argument made during the double homicide trial of Jayshawn Johnson about being taller than a parking meter is one of six issues he listed in his appeal to the Pennsylvania Superior Court. Johnson, 23, of Wilkes-Barre, filed the appeal through Attorney Matthew P. Kelly, alleging errors were made during his Luzerne County jury trial before Judge David W. Lupas in November. The jury convicted Johnson of the fatal shootings of Maurice Chapman, 31, and Damian Thomas, 32, and causing permanent injuries to Alquad Cade Jr.
