I can not find anything archived but do know that their was alot written at the time. Devin's last name was also Brown and he passed in Sept. of 2004 on Stone Farm Road in Fulton township. I also know that things were different for everyone before this accident. These two kids always had everything material they could ever want...but after Devin was gone she needed something more..The whole thing is really sad. And also a correction to be known,Devin was 6 not 7,sorry.

To date, there's no extensive research comparing the lengths of prison sentences received by juveniles convicted in criminal court with those who remained in the juvenile system. What research exists indicates that juveniles convicted in criminal court, particularly serious and violent offenders, are more likely to be incarcerated and receive longer sentences than juveniles retained in the juvenile system. Despite this, however, they often actually serve only a fraction of the sentences imposed, in many cases less time than they would have served in a juvenile facility.
A 1996 Texas study found that juveniles sentenced in adult court did receive longer terms than they would have received in juvenile court. However, for all offenses except rape, the average prison time actually served was only about 27 percent of the sentence imposed, in some cases shorter than the possible sentence length in a juvenile facility.[1]
In a study of the sentences received by youth offenders in New York and New Jersey, researcher Jeffrey Fagan came to similar conclusions. He found that adolescents transferred to criminal court were more likely to be convicted and sentenced to periods of incarceration than those adjudicated in the juvenile system. However, all juveniles sentenced to incarceration received nearly identical sentence length, regardless of whether they were tried in the criminal or the juvenile system.

The kids had just gone back to school and Jill had come across a good deal at Wal-mart that day. A big above ground pool that they still had time to enjoy as the weather was still super hot. They were renting a farm house out on Stone Farm Road in Edgerton. The owners of the farm had come by to do the evening chores and Jill was setting up the pool for the kids. Devin was seven but had a slight case of autism and was the sweetest boy you could have ever met. He always had a big smile for you and a hug to share..that day he followed the boys on the tractor out of the driveway while on his trike..he was planning on just going out a little bit and then zooming back into the driveway..Ashlee and Jill were both there..when a guy and his girlfriend were speeding down the road and couldn't see becuase of the setting sun. He hit and killed Devin going over 50 MPH..and Ashlee had to see this...Ashlee loved her gymnastics and always had a flip or a cartwheel for us...then the light from her eyes just faded....we lost her that day too...

Thank you justme46!!! And I wonder if anyone is thinking about the speeder who hit Devin that day on Stone Farm Rd? Should we bring him into this as well? Because after all,if he wasn't speeding and hadn't hit her little brother she wouldn't be this messed up and then Alex would still be alive...it's a sad and crazy cycle isn't it? Let's hope that Alex's mother can learn from Ashlee's moms mistakes on how to handle a tragedy,after all these two moms have one thing in common....they both lost a son from someone else's mistake.

O.K so is this then going to help with all the submerged junk from the floods? I pay "river view" taxes,(even though the only way I can actually see it is if I sit on the roof top of my two story home and tilt my head to left during a wind storm) But, I do use the lake and river during the summer with the kids for boating. I have lost three props last year alone and that was before July. Since the floods,I have been stuck in submerged piers,fallen trees and god knows what else has floated down and stayed under there...
