That will be up to the judge. Not the prosecutor. If he doesn't want the kid to spend time in jail then what is the purpose of filing felony charges against him?

Just give an 18-year old a felony conviction so he can never get a decent job.

Then why bother? Drop the case.

The prosecutor should have declined to file charges.

It was a harmless prank for crying out loud!

And spare me the “things/times are different now”, argument. I don’t buy it.

Yeah they just want him to have a felony conviction on his record so the state can limit his freedom for his entire life.

I am not exactly sure how they can charge him with anything. It was legit for him to be at his school. He took something in. Out of caution they called the cops because they could not identify him. Everytime the cops are called does not require someone be charged PARTICUALRY IF NO CRIME WAS COMMITTED.
