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

Charges have been dropped against five Georgia high school students involved in a fatal accident during a toilet paper prank at the home of their math teacher, Jason Hughes. Hughes was inadvertently run over by a student driver as the teens attempted to flee after he tripped and fell in his yard. The incident occurred when Hughes, aware of the prank, came outside to surprise the students. The driver faced homicide and trespassing charges, while the other students faced misdemeanor charges. The district attorney dismissed the charges at the request of Hughes' family, who sought to prevent further tragedy and honor Hughes' dedication to his students. Hughes' wife, also a teacher at the school, supported dropping the charges.
