The family of Jason Hughes, a Georgia teacher who died after a prank went awry, is urging authorities to drop criminal charges against the teenagers involved. They said Hughes would not have wanted their lives ruined by the tragic incident.
On 6 March, five Gainesville teens wrapped trees outside of Jason Hughes' home with toilet paper in a senior prank considered a 'tradition.' When Hughes stepped out of his home, the teens fled in two separate vehicles, one of which was a pickup truck driven by 18-year-old Jayden Ryan Wallace.
