Blackout Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-turk16.html Teen gets 6 months for turkey prank that injured woman August 16, 2005 RIVERHEAD, N.Y. -- A teenager who threw a 20-pound turkey out the rear window of a car pleaded guilty Monday to assault and tearfully embraced the driver he critically injured, authorities said. Ryan Cushing, 18, will serve six months in jail and five years of probation as part of his plea agreement, said a spokesman for District Attorney Thomas Spota. He pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree assault before Suffolk County Court Judge Barbara Kahn. If convicted of first-degree assault at trial, Cushing could have been sentenced to a maximum of 25 years. Victoria Ruvolo, 44, of Lake Ronkonkoma, shattered every bone in her face. She spent more than a month in the hospital receiving extensive facial reconstructive surgery and continues to receive physical therapy. Ruvolo approved of the plea deal and hugged Cushing in a tearful embrace in the courtroom during Monday's proceeding, said Bob Clifford, a spokesman for Spota. Five other teenagers involved in the November 2004 incident have previously pleaded guilty to various charges, including credit card theft for a spending spree.

The Troll Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 What the hell is wrong with kids today? Back in my day (All five years ago), we just smashed random things with baseball bats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor99 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Back in 99 a couple of kids got arrested for throwing large rocks (almost boulders) off of an overpass. They killed a schoolteacher from the midwest somewhere. There isn't punishment enough for acts like this. The parents are partly to blame IMO.

They did that in Jersey not too long ago, partly the reason they raised those walls on the side. Frickin stupid kids throwing rocks into traffics, just stupid.
