DailyKenn.com — Two teens who fatally beat a 14-year-old classmate won't go to prison. Rather, the unidentified teens will serve probation at home.
Reports say the teens beat 13-year old Diego Stolz to death at Landmark Middle School on Sept. 16, 2019. The school is located in Moreno Valley, California.
The convicts are 14-years-old.
The death underscores the safety risks that seem inherent to government schools where students are often not adequately supervised.
A bystander's cellphone video shows Diego being punched and then falling and hitting his head on a pillar in the schoolyard. He died nine days later from head trauma.
The identities of his attackers have not been made public because they are minors.
Although Riverside County's district attorney and Probation Department both wanted the two teens to serve more time, Luebs said the law required the least restrictive terms to promote rehabilitation. He said the two boys were "directly responsible" for Diego's death even if they did not intend to kill him.
