Asher Zaslaw, 17, pleaded not guilty to the third-degree felony in juvenile court Tuesday. She faces a variety of penalties, including community service and probation. Zaslaw said she recorded the October lecture at Navarre High School because she was having difficulty in the class and wanted to maintain good grades. [snip] -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
