An ex-con who is friends with woke DA Alvin Bragg and appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast last month has been charged with murder after a severed head was found at a Bronx apartment.
Justice reform advocate Sheldon Johnson, 48, told the popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast on February 1 about his journey 'changing his life around' after being jailed for 50 years for two violent robberies.
He regaled Rogan's audience with tales of his rise to the top of one of the prison's most notorious gangs, before insisting it was all behind him.
'I've been doing bad for so long I'm going to try to do something good, if all else fails I can go back to doing something bad,' he said at the time.
Just a month after the episode aired, Johnson was charged in relation to a dismembered body found in a bin and a head stashed in a freezer belonging to victim Colin Small, 44.
Johnson, who works with at-risk youth at the Queens Defenders in New York, joined Rogan to discuss his justice reform advocacy.
During the chat, he admitted to dealing drugs and robbing those who could not settle their debts - acts for which a judge reportedly branded him, 'a menace to society.'
He described robbing a debtor and his girlfriend in the 1990s with the help of a gang of accomplices, one of whom pistol-whipped the victim leaving him with a head wound.
Johnson also admitted he 'roughed up' a second robbery victim, although he insisted the man was not physically harmed. Johnson was given consecutive 25-year sentences for the crimes.
While in prison, the convicted felon said he was smoking weed and drinking 'jailhouse hooch.'

Wha...?
“’I was in a gang, I was top of the food chain...”
When a democrat cannibal kills another democrat cannibal, I approve. More please. /spit
Poor Sheldon. He was in the process of turning his life around. Too bad he just happened to chop someone’s head off just before the process was complete. I’m sure it was a mostly peaceful beheading.
Johnson 48....after being jailed for 50 years for two violent robberies. The other Wha...? Pretty sure he was not jailed for 50 years. Sentenced maybe but I going out on a limb and saying not jailed.
Well it looks like he wants back in for that jailhouse hooch and weed to smoke with others since he is the top is the chain.
“We are living in strange times where insanity seems to be the norm and our government officials seem to be turning the country into one big insane asylum run by the insane inmates.”
Except that it’s not insanity. They know exactly what they’re doing.
Not a good look for Bragg. Appearances matter so much to them that something drastic will have to be done about it.
“Justice reform advocate Sheldon Johnson” was only trying to help the murder victim turn his life around...in little bits at a time.
48 yrs old & jailed for 50 yrs? Who writes this?
The judge that called him a menace to society was correct.
He just wanted to get ahead in life
He was helping his friend work up a new musical routine singing “ I ain’t got nobody”
Living by the old saying two heads are better than one.
I could go on....
“I’m sure it was a mostly peaceful beheading.”
I’m surprised it wasn’t televised. Then they could have had reruns to fill space when the writers strike again.
