All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
(Lander, WY) – Kasia Monroe, one of three parties charged in the death of 31-year-old Ashley Dewey, pled “not guilty” to accessory before the fact to murder in the second degree at her December 20 arraignment hearing held today.
The hearing was overseen by the honorable Judge Marvin Tyler.
A jury trial was ordered, with a date that will be set in the coming weeks.
