Erin Kuhn-Brown Trial

Erin is back in prison after having spent some time at a mental health care facility.  Her trial is now tentatively set for January 28, 2002.  Becki (Nelson) Watters who has been in frequent contact with Erin reports that Erin seems to be in good spirit.  Erin's address is listed on the address book and she does appreciate letters of encouragement.  Becki also indicates that the Nevada ABC Bookstore knows the procedures for mailing books to Erin for anyone interested in sending Erin positive reading material to keep her occupied.
