3-8-14 heroin death-sentence

PORTAGE, Wis. (AP) — A Fitchburg man accused of supplying the heroin that killed a teenager in 2012 has been sentenced to seven years in prison.  Twenty-three-year-old Milton Moore pleaded no contest Thursday to first-degree reckless homicide by delivery of drugs.  After his prison term, Moore will be on extended supervision for seven years.   Moore apologized to the family of the victim, 17-year-old Jacob Adler of Lodi.  Adler's mother, Shelly Johnson, says she hopes her son's story might save other lives.
Moore's co-defendant, 20-year-old Lars Atkinson of Lodi, was sentenced in October to 5 ½ years in prison and 5 ½ years on extended supervision.  According to the complaint, Atkinson told police he and Adler purchased the heroin in Madison, giving Moore $75 for half a gram.
