(CNN)Five teenagers from Michigan have been charged with second-degree
murder after being accused of throwing a rock off an overpass that killed
a man, according to the Genesee County Sheriff's Office.
Kenneth White, 32, was a passenger in a van that was traveling along I-75
near Flint, Michigan, on the night of October 18, when a 6-pound rock
smashed through the windshield of the vehicle, fatally injuring him.
White was struck in the face and head, and the rock ricocheted to his
chest, causing him to lose consciousness, according to Genesee County
Sheriff Robert Pickell.
The driver told police he had to pass four other vehicles, which were
disabled on the side of the road because of rocks, before he could pull
over to get help for his friend.
Pickell and David Leyton, the county prosecutor, announced on Monday that
the teens, ages 15-17, are being charged as adults with one count of
second-degree murder each. They are also being charged with conspiracy to
commit murder, six felony counts each of malicious destruction of property
and two other lesser charges.
"It's not a prank, it's second-degree murder," said Pickell. "I don't
think anybody is laughing and I think that if there's any warning that
both David and I can give, is telling young people, you make a bad
decision, you could be spending the rest of your life in prison."
Police said the group threw a tire and about 20 rocks, one weighing 20
pounds, off two overpasses that night, damaging several vehicles. After
throwing the rock that killed White, the teens left the overpass and went
to a McDonalds to eat.
"To propel the size of boulder down from the Dodge Road overpass to a 70
mph vehicle that's headed southbound, you ought to know -- a reasonable
person would know -- that that is creating a high risk of great bodily
harm, or in this case, death," said Leyton.
The teens will be formally arraigned in court on Tuesday.
"At the end of the day nobody wins. The young people are charged
criminally, a young boy lost his father and all of the families are left
grieving," said Pickell.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the
Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
