ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. (AP) - A judge has allowed a woman convicted of conspiring to kill her stepmother in Vermont in 2000 to live with a convicted felon in Las Vegas.

The state had sought to revoke the probation of 29-year-old Tashia Beer, saying her living arrangement violated probation conditions.

Beer as 14 when her foster brother shot and killed Beer’s stepmother, Vicki Campbell-Beer, at their home in Burke. In 2005, Beer pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was imprisoned for six years.



The Caledonian Record reports (https://bit.ly/SjFmem) Judge Robert Bent ordered that Beer’s conditions of probation be modified to allow contact with Shannoy Francis, father of one of her children, following a three-month waiting period.

Bent wrote event though Beer violated her probationary terms, she did not slide back to committing criminal acts.
