A fight broke out after a Milwaukee County judge sentenced 23-year-old Dedrick Ashford to one year in prison and one year of extended supervision on Wednesday, November 28th.
Ashford pleaded guilty to driving without a license causing death — specifically the death of six-year-old Christopher Wade Jr. near 51st and Meinecke in April. Members of Wade’s family asked the court for the stiffest penalty possible for Ashford. “The day Dedrick took him from me, he took away more than just my child, he took away my life,” said one family member.
I take responsibility for my actions. So hopefully that go a long way,” said Ashford. Ashford’s plea and the circumstances surrounding Wade’s death led to the one-year prison sentence. Immediately after the sentencing on Wednesday, dozens of family members of the victim began yelling out, stood up and stormed out of the courtroom. Some were calling out “murderer” while leaving.
Once in the hallway, a fight broke out. In a press release, the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office said family members of the victim spotted the defendant’s brother in the hallway and ran after him, and the fight ensued. Sheriff’s deputies armed with stun guns broke up the fight.
Paramedics were also called to the scene and applied first aid to at least one deputy. The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office says one deputy was struck in the head several times, and another deputy injured her wrist. A reporter was also hurt when one of the people involved in the fight shoved her camera into her face. Sheriff’s officials say three people are in custody for their role in the fight, and the investigation is ongoing.
Patricia Slaten is the victim’s grandmother and said it was taunts inside the courtroom that started it all. “The sentencing was too short. A year? He took the life of a six year old. Dedrick’s brother said some things to some family members of my family that was unacceptable. He made some threats,” Slaten said.
Slaten said Ashford’s brother challenged her son to a fight outside the courtroom. “I look at my family every day and I see the hurt and the pain in their faces,” Slaten said. As the investigation continues into what happened after court, Christopher Wade’s family will continue to try to find closure amid tragedy.

story didnt tell us how the lil boy was killed though

So was he ? or was he just driving without a license?
Details are needed to know if the family has a legitimate reason to be upset over the sentence. -

-
Limp wrist injury
-
This story is incomplete I need more info before I say some ?
-
? those three that got arrested is going to get more time for injuring those cops.
-
The boy got hit by a car because the guy had no license, he should not have been driving.
The defendants family was taunting the victims family.
Thats one of the reasons the fight happened.
-
The boy did not get hit b/c the guy had no license... that makes no sense
-
Damn, that's ? up. For his sake he better be in PC that whole year
-
Who said he got hit because he had no license?
He should not have been driving because he had no license
Im sensing the boy got hit because the families are being very
Hostile...im not sure but it doesnt seem like they were friends
so I dont think the boy was riding with him
It didnt say he was ? either, So im assuming he was hit
The family is ? cause the ? had no license and is not showing
Remourse. Im just guessin tho...did he get hit or not? -
I should have put a comma between car and because.That's how I wanted it to come out.

inb4 it was probably in self defense.

So if he had a license would he still go to jail?
-

Smh at a year.
A guy here shot a police dog in the eye and got 22 years, jus saying. He robbed a check cashing place too but most of his time was for the German Shepard. -

? outta here ...
how did the boy get hit?? parents letting him play in the street??
driving with out a license is a technicality in this sitiuation. if he wouldnt have been driving up the street doing the speed limit that day your son wouldnt have died??? or did your son dart out into traffic unsupervised???
fact is .. if it was my son and the driver was doing 60 mph in a 15 mph school zone or some ? , the last thing im checking for is a license ... he's getting offed because he hit my son.
so the family would forgive him if he had a liciense?? LOL yeah right then they would have said he driving too fast even if the coroner said the injuries are consistent with someone doing the speed limit.
it all depends on the circumstances -
Regardless of what happened, I'd wanna beat the ? outta someone who only got one year for killing my kid. Sittin quiet, sittin quiet......
