WVTM 13. SO NEWS OF A DEATH? NO BOOK COMING TO LIGHT. ALMOST A YEAR LATER HAS PARENTS CONCERNED. AND TONIGHT WE ARE ASKING JEFFERSON COUNTY D.A. WHY THEY COULDN’T CHARGE THAT HE WOULD PRESS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT FOR THAT LIST. WVTM 13 MAGDALA LOUISSAINT SPOKE WITH THE D.A. AND HAS MUCH MORE. UNDER ALABAMA CODE 13, A DASH TEN, DASH 15, A TERRORIST THREAT HAS TO CAUSE DISRUPTION AT A SCHOOL, CHURCH OR GOVERNMENTAL FACILITY. THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR TRUSSVILLE POLICE TO PRESS CHARGES AGAINST THE HEWITT TRUSSVILLE HIGH STUDENT. THEY CANCEL SCHOOL OR EVACUATED THE SCHOOL, THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED TERRORISTIC THREAT. JEFFERSON COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY DANNY CARR SAYS THAT DID NOT HAPPEN IN OCTOBER 2021, WHEN SCHOOL STAFF FOUND THE DEATH NOTE LIST WITH 37 STUDENTS NAMES ON IT. CARR SAYS HIS OFFICE COULD NOT CHARGE THE MAIL STUDENT BECAUSE ONLY THE PRINCIPAL, TEACHER AND COUNSELOR KNEW ABOUT IT. WE HAVE HAD A SITUATION WHERE A LETTER ON A PIECE OF PAPER WERE FOUND, BUT IT WAS FOUND AND IT WAS NEVER COMMUNICATED. ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS BEEN PROBLEMATIC UNDER THE LAW. ALL OF THIS HAS TO OCCUR TO CHARGE THE STUDENT THAT INCLUDES COMMUNICATING TO ANOTHER PERSON ABOUT WHAT HE ALLEGEDLY WANTED TO DO. CARR SAYS THE SCHOOL COULD HAVE PUNISHED HIM BACK THEN, BUT THE SUPERINTENDENT SAYS THE PRINCIPAL AND COUNSELOR TOOK AWAY THE NOTEBOOK, MONITORED THE STUDENT AND HE FINISHED THE 2021, 2022 SCHOOL YEAR WITH NO FURTHER DISCIPLINARY PROBLEMS. HE THEN GOES ON TO SAY THAT THAT THEIR STUDENTS SHARE BE SUSPENDED IMMEDIATELY, AND THEN YOU CAN THINK ABOUT COUNSELING AND EVERYTHING AS IT RELATES TO THAT TO SEE WHAT THE ROOT CAUSE OF WHY THIS HAPPENED. I REACHED OUT TO ALABAMA SENATOR SHAY SHEL NUT. HE REPRESENTS DISTRICT SEVEN TEEN TRUSSVILLE IS WITHIN THAT DISTRICT. HE TELLS ME PARENTS HAVE BEEN CALLING HIM ABOUT THIS HIT LIST AND WONDERING WHETHER HE CAN HELP CHANGE THIS LAW. WELL, HE TELLS ME DURING THE BREAK RIGHT NOW HE AND OTHER LEGISLATORS WILL WORK ON MAKING CHANGES TO THIS CODE BEFORE THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION BEGINS NEXT YEAR IN JEFFERSO
