An Oklahoma district attorney says he doesn't plan to file any charges in the case of Nex Benedict, the 16-year-old Owasso teenager whose death following a fight in a high school bathroom was ruled a suicide
An Oklahoma district attorney said Thursday he doesn’t plan to file any charges in the case of Nex Benedict, the 16-year-old Owasso teenager whose death following a fight in a high school bathroom was ruled a suicide.
“When I review a report and make a decision to file a charge I must be convinced — as is every prosecutor — that a crime was committed and that I have reasonable belief that a judge or jury would be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime was committed,' Kunzweiler said. “From all the evidence gathered, this fight was an instance of mutual combat.” Kunzweiler also said Owasso police uncovered a “suicide note” written by Benedict, although he declined to say what the note said.
