Should These Boys Be Charged With a Felony?

Question by whatthefudgymudgy: Should these boys be charged with a felony?
Hear the case of the 3 teenage boys in Merrill, WI who were charged with a felony because of the death of a Foreign Exchange Student who was drinking at a party. Later it was discovered the FES had addisons disease. These boys are charged with his death because they “brought the alcohol” These high school boys are 18 and under, they were not the only kids at the BYOB party. The only reason they were charged and no one else, is because they stuck around to try to revive the FES. I know a lot about this story and am sooo angry over it.. These are good boys. The DA copped a plea bargain that forced the boys to take,due to fear of their own lives, felony is not a joke. Personally, I’d like to know who supplied the boys with the liquor… must of been an adult.

Answer by arus.geo
well did they or didn’t they bring alcohol?

they are just as guilty as anyone else who brought alcohol to that party, and illegally drinking it.

yes, they helped the boy out, but they are not absolved of their responsibility to follow the law.
