MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - A Montgomery man has been found guilty of the 2007 murder of a local Pastor and will spend the rest of his life behind bars without the possibility of parole for his crimes.

According to the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office, Franky "Smiley" Johnson was found guilty on Tuesday for the September 24, 2007 murder of Reverend Paul Boswell.

The murder happened just off of the Alabama State University campus. An ASU Security Officer thought a traffic accident had caused a Cadillac to run into the front yard of a run-down house on Harriet Street. When the officer went to investigate the incident he found Reverend Boswell's body under the car.
