Charges dropped against Georgia teens whose teacher died during toilet paper prank

Five Georgia high school students will not face criminal charges following the accidental death of their teacher, Jason Hughes, during a senior prank gone tragically wrong. The 40-year-old math teacher was fatally struck by a student's pickup truck after he slipped on rain-soaked ground while attempting to surprise the teenagers during a toilet papering prank at his home. Hughes's widow, who teaches at the same school, advocated strongly for dismissing all charges against the students, stating her husband had known about the prank in advance and would not have wanted their futures destroyed.
