Kianna Rae Brackett, 39, of Red Lion, is facing serious charges after police found the body of 18-year-old Tyler Moser in bed with Brackett's 13-year-old daughter. State An autopsy revealed that Moser died from "bronchopneumonia complicated by methadone toxicity." The investigation that followed uncovered a disturbing series of events leading to this tragedy, of which Brackett became the focus. Police recovered text messages from Brackett's phone indicating she had not only given Moser methadone but had also assisted him in drug transactions. The messages also suggested that Brackett was aware of and potentially enabling a relationship between Moser and her daughter.

The Gravity of Drug Charges in Pennsylvania
Drug charges in Pennsylvania, particularly those involving possession with intent to distribute, carry severe penalties. When coupled with other serious charges like involuntary manslaughter, the legal situation becomes even more dire. Possession with intent to distribute is considered a felony offense in Pennsylvania. The severity of the charge depends on factors such as the type and quantity of the drug involved. Penalties for this offense can include lengthy prison sentences, hefty fines, and a permanent criminal record that can impact future employment and housing opportunities.
Involuntary manslaughter, defined as an unintentional killing resulting from recklessness or gross negligence, is a first-degree misdemeanor in Pennsylvania. However, when combined with drug distribution charges, it can lead to significantly enhanced penalties. The combination of these charges often results in:
- Extended prison sentences, potentially decades-long
- Substantial fines, sometimes reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars
- Permanent loss of certain rights, such as voting or owning firearms
- Difficulty finding employment or housing due to a felony record
- Potential asset forfeiture
- Mandatory drug treatment programs
Additionally, cases involving minors, as in the tragic incident described above, often lead to additional charges and enhanced penalties. Given the complexity and severity of these charges, it's crucial to have a skilled and experienced criminal defense team on your side.
