Stark County teens involved in accidental shooting sentenced to jail, ordered to do book report
STARK COUNTY – A Stark County Common Pleas judge is trying something unusual to teach two 19-year-old defendants a lesson about guns and making good choices.
Instead of just a jail sentence, the two defendants, will also have to read a book about World War II or the Vietnam War, and then write a five page book report.
Judge Frank Forchione sentenced Jonas Rohr and Kyle Bodager Monday. The two were convicted of discharging a firearm near a prohibited premises.
Law enforcement officials say last fall the two teens and another juvenile were targeting practice in Tuscarawas Township. While they were shooting, a stray bullet struck a man , Merle Webb, who was mowing his lawn.
Webb told us the bullet struck him in the face. He is still recovering but is expected to be ok.
“They didn’t intend to hurt anyone, but they did,” Judge Forchione told Fox 8 Tuesday. “I wanted the sentence to send a message. The prisons are full. So I wanted to do something especially being around July 4th, that may give these young men a message that they need to make better judgments. “
And the defendants will have time to read and write the report. One was sentenced to 7 days in jail and the other got a 30 day sentence. After they complete the jail sentence and report, they will have to perform 200 hours of community service at the Ohio Veteran’s Memorial Park in Clinton, Ohio.
The judge said his goal with this sentencing is to make sure the two learned from the experience.
“Hey, maybe I will impact their lives in a positive way and they won’t be back in my courtroom,” the judge said.
But let it have been one of us though >_>

The judge is correcting these misguided 19 year old youth firearm enthusiasts to educate them. He's ensuring that when they pick up a gun to shoot, the proper method is to point it at a non "American". -
What if their dogs eat their homework???

white privilege to the rescue

You remember when the "affluenza" guy that killed 4 people ? driving and got probation violated and went on the run to Mexico and lived as a fugitive for months until he was finally caught after a massive manhunt and legal process to get him extradited to the U.S.?
Well he got 2 years for all that so most likely if these ? don't do their damn book report probably the worst they're gonna get is detention. -
-
I dunno, if they have to do a 5 page book report single spaced with size 10 font that ? might be worse than jail.
jokes aside, this ? sounds like something out of one of those wacky ass sitcoms especially with the judge being all nonchalant with his "hey, maybe I won't see these guys in court again" -
