The wife of a beloved high school teacher who was killed in a prank gone tragically wrong is urging authorities to drop all charges against the teenagers involved – saying her husband would never have wanted their lives ruined over the accident.
Jason Hughes, 40, a teacher at North Hall High School in Gainesville, Georgia, died after slipping and falling into the street and being run over by a car outside his home late Friday while chasing after students who had covered his yard in toilet paper as part of a long-running school prank tradition.
