It really bothers me that kids who accidentally kill their siblings get no charges filed, but this harmless incident resulted in this girl being charged with two felonies. I agree that it was an accident and the decision not to file charges was correct, but why the charges for Kiera?
It bothers me even more that teenage boys guilty of gang rape get juvie, and this girl gets charged as an adult.
I hope they drop the charges against her. At least scientists are backing her up.
Kiera Wilmot was charged with two felonies, for popping the top off a water bottle.
No one was hurt, no damage was caused. Does anyone know anyone who did more damage in science class and was not charged? I sure as hell do. One guy I know blew up the science lab at his high school, injured a classmate too. Were there any charges? No, of course not.It really bothers me that kids who accidentally kill their siblings get no charges filed, but this harmless incident resulted in this girl being charged with two felonies.
