THANK YOU.

TODAY WAS SENTENCING DAY

FOR THE YOUNG WOMAN WHO

STABBED KILLED A HIGH SCHOOL

CLASSMATE.

THE CASE SHOCKED THE CITY

AND THE SCHOOL

DISTRICT IS STILL FEELING THE

CONSEQUENCES.

Reporter: THE 18-YEAR-OLD

HAS KNOWN

DIFFICULTIES BUT THAT IS NO

EXCUSE FOR STALKING

KILLING A CLASSMATE ACCORDING

TO THE JUDGE CAUSING

THE FAMILY A LIFETIME OF PAIN.

I HOPE YOU FIGURE OUT A WAY

TO BEAR YOUR BURDEN

BECAUSE OURS IS HEAVIER EACH

DAY.

Reporter: SHE WAS 16 WHEN

SHE BECAME INVOLVED

IN A RUNNING DISPUTE WITH A

GROUP OF FELLOW HIGH

SCHOOL STUDENTS.

THE DA SAID THAT IT STARTED ON

SOCIAL MEDIA.

AND THEN THE KIDS THAT JUST

ESCALATES IN TO

SOMETHING, I DON'T THINK ANYONE

ANTICIPATED WOULD

HAPPEN.

IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON

THAT WE ARE STARTING TO

SEE BULLYING, SOMETIMES TURNING

IN TO SOMETHING

MORE.

Reporter: IT LED TO A SERIES

OF CONFRONTATIONS

AT BUSINESSES NEAR THE HIGH

SCHOOL ON

JANUARY 10th, 2018.

AT ONE POINT SCHWAB PEPPER

SPRAYED SOME OF BROWN'S

FRIENDS.

IT ENDED WITH BROWN TAKING A

STEAK KNIFE OUT OF HER

JACKET AND FATALLY STABBING HER

CLASSMATE.

SHE SHOWED NO EMOTION AS THEY

LISTENED TO A PLEA

FROM SCHWAB'S SISTER.

I HOPE THAT IF ANYTHING

IT CAN BE A REMINDER FOR

YOUNG PEOPLE TO FIND PEACEFUL

WAYS TO RESOLVE

CONFLICT.

Reporter: THE FAMILY

CONSENTED TO THE PLEA DEAL

AND SENTENCE, 17 YEARS.

THE FATAL STABBING WAS ONE OF A

SERIES OF VIOLENT

EVENTS INVOLVING STUDENT THAT

SHOOK THE COMMUNITY

GENERATING DEEP CONCERN THAT

CONTRIBUTED TO THE

DEPARTURE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT

AND THE HIGH SCHOOL

PRINCIPAL.
