BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – It doesn’t look like a former principal of an elementary school will be doing any time for letting her sons throw a party with about 100 other teenagers.
In a Brevard County courtroom Tuesday, Judge Kathryn Speicher was supposed to sentence former Roosevelt Elementary principal, Elizabeth Hill-Brodigan, on allegations a year ago that she, and a fired Roosevelt teacher, Karly Anderson, were at the ex-principal’s house with the teens during the alcohol-filled “white lie party”, as police called it.
“One girl had gotten a DUI, another child was passed out,” assistant state attorney Julia Lynch said.

Despite what was scheduled, Lynch said the judge wants to allow teens at the party to testify in court should they wish, so the plea and sentencing hearing was postponed.
Your Cocoa Beach Community Correspondent James Sparvero asked the prosecutor if she wants Brodigan to serve jail time.
Anderson last year was only sentenced to probation
“I will say, we are not seeking that at this time,” Lynch answered.
Sparvero also asked Brodigan questions as she left court Tuesday.
She didn’t answer any of them.
“It sounds like you’re not gonna go back to jail. How happy does that make you,” Sparvero asked to no reply.
Brodigan also didn’t answer whether she still allows her sons to throw parties (students told police parties at the ex-principal’s house happened once or twice a month), nor did she answer if she wants to be a teacher or principal again.
Brodigan’s plea and sentencing was rescheduled to February 2.
