Brown: “With God’s help, I am committed to live the rest of my life helping others, especially young people. My hope is to help other young girls avoid ending up where I have been.”

Sentenced to life in prison at 16 for killing her would-be rapist, Brown is not eligible for parole until she is 67.

Paul LePage also insisted that he will no longer speak with reporters after revelations of his tirade against a state representative he thought called him a racist.
