Edgerton girl admits involvement in boy's death
A 14-year-old Edgerton girl admits her involvement in a 13-year-old boy's death.
Alexander Aiken's mother gave a somtimes sobbing, often angry, and thoroughly mournful statement during the juvenile court disposition Thursday of Ashlee Brown. Her young son's friend was accused of supplying the prescription drugs which led to his death. She admonished the 8th grade girl, saying there's no sentence that could take away from her young life and family, what she'd taken away from others. Following a plea agreement, Rock County Judge Alan Bates ordered Brown be placed in the state's Serious Juvenile Offender program. She'll be in state custody for five years, with up to three years in a maximum security facility for juveniles.
Both the prosecution and defense say Brown will be able to receive better help to deal with her problems in the juvenile system, compared with the adult system.

She is a 14 year old kid for Cripes sake and yes she needs to be held accountable but not at the level some people think. If you read the articles you would have figured out the young boy new how to crush and snort it without her help so apparently he had prior experience with doing this. IMO I think if people would think about it THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE ANYWHERE AND MAYBE A CLOSE FAMILY MEMBER OR ONE OF YOUR KIDS COULD BE THE ONE YOU ARE SO GUNG HO TO HANG......

theres no denying her involvement. in fact i think the title of this story leads one to believe she has admitted that. how does that have any bearing on if it should have been juvenile or adult court??

She contributed to this boy's death. She should be treated as an adult. What makes me angry is when I've seen her on TV, she hides her face. This is a cowardly act. She should show her face. They should have made her show her face.
