PHOENIX — A man has been sentenced to six years in prison following the death of a 16-year-old Arizona girl.
Hannah Pairrett’s mom says her daughter thought she was buying Percocet pills from a Phoenix drug dealer.
One hour after she took them, she became unconscious and died.
“She was a really good person. Very funny. Lit up the room when she walked in,” her mom Danya Ayers described.
The dealer, Michael Allen Fox, was sentenced on Monday to six years in prison and three years of probation.
This April, he pleaded guilty to knowingly selling Hannah fentanyl pills in 2019.
Ayers spoke in court recently and said she wants to help give a voice to the parents of children who have overdosed.
“I want to bring some kind of justice for her and other kids. There have been so many who have died who have no justice," Ayers said.
ABC15 spoke to Ayers after Fox's sentencing, “She’s never coming back,” she said. “He gets to see his family again in six years probably less.”
Despite the disappointment, she told ABC15 she will continue to fight for changes to law and justice for others.
“It makes me feel like after this is just want to fight even harder for people now,” said Ayers.
