By STEVE LARGEClick here for updates on this storyAMADOR COUNTY, California (KOVR) — The Amador County District Attorney has admitted that the wrong man was in custody awaiting trial for two years for the death of one woman and the beating of two men.
Jeffrey Johnston was the landlord of an Amador County home when in 2019, a brutal attack by who police now say was Jared Wilkinson left Wilkinson’s girlfriend Vanessa Plew dead and Johnson wounded.
After the release of Johnson, District Attorney Todd Riebe is now charging Wilkinson with murder and attempted murder for the attack.
Johnston and Wilkinson accused each other of killing Plew, and the DA says he believed the wrong guy until now.
He is set to appear before a judge on July 14 in an extradition hearing to bring him back to Amador County.
