In other reports of this story they mentioned that he, “declined to say who gave them to him.” And apparently for the school, that was the end of it!
In any place but a liberal run numb-skull school system, if you are caught with incriminating evidence, it IS yours until you prove otherwise. If you ‘decline’ to say who gave it to you, NOBODY GAVE IT TO YOU.
Like so many of these cases, the ‘kid’ is allowed to get away with progressively more and more. This only reinforces the idea that they CAN get away with more and more. It always ends with them killing somebody, or somebody killing them.
At least this story has the better of the two endings.
duh....He insisted they did not belong to him....If they were stolen they DID NOT belong to him.
