The teen, whose name was not released because she was 17 at the time of the crime, could receive anything from a suspended sentence to as much as two years in the state juvenile prison when she is sentenced on May 31. District Judge Dan Hale convicted the woman Thursday after hearing testimony from two classmates who said she arranged the sale of four ecstasy tablets for about $90. Unlike the others, the girl convicted Thursday never touched the cloverleaf ecstasy pills, received no money, did not know Brittney and did not attend the party where the ecstasy was used, according to witnesses. She was accused of connecting one of Brittney's friends with Rebecca Sheffield, 18, in a school restroom the day before Brittney's birthday party. That friend testified Thursday that the accused girl — whom she knew from a choir class — brought Sheffield to the restroom before a class that day. The friend said the girl looked on as Sheffield sold the drugs in the restroom. Hale said the girl's part in brokering the deal constituted an illegal act. Sheffield also faces felony charges for her alleged role in Chambers' death. Monarch High School has expelled Sheffield and the four other girls. A classmate brought the drug to Chambers' 16th birthday party in Superior on Jan. 27. Chambers took one of the tablets and later lapsed into a coma. Brittney's family removed her from life support Feb. 2. An autopsy revealed that she died from drinking too much water after taking the drug. Previous Stories:
