GREELEY — A mother and son convicted to aiding Cimmeron Johns following a double homicide earlier this year received the maximum sentence allowable last week in Weld County District Court.

Justin O’Donnell, 24, and Rosann O’Donnell, 42, were each sentenced to six years in prison after they pleaded guilty to accessory to a crime for their roles in connection to the deaths of Sheri Pachello and Alisha Johns.

Both Justin and Rosann had previously pleaded guilty to the Class 4 felony, with Justin admitting to delaying “the apprehension or discovery” of the deaths by helping Cimmeron Johns, who was suspected of killing his estranged wife and her mother on Feb. 6, according to a Weld County District Attorney’s Office statement.

At sentencing arguments in Greeley, prosecutors noted that both O’Donnells “assisted Cimmeron post-murder with destroying evidence, concealing the victim’s vehicle, evading police, and harboring Cimmeron in their apartment.”

Cimmeron was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot in the O’Donnell’s Thornton apartment a day following the deaths of Pachello and Johns.
