Let's move on to another case that's been in the news that I've seen a lot, a lot of conversation, a lot of headlines about.

This is Jason Hughes.

He was the teacher who was killed by a student prank.

Have you read about this or heard about this?

This is an interesting discussion, too.

Where is this one again?

This is in Georgia.

So Jason Hughes was a 40-year-old teacher and golf coach in Gainesville, Georgia, and he died after a tragic accident connected to a prom season prank.

On March 6th, so this just happened recently, Hughes was struck by a pickup truck outside his home.

According to the Hall County Sheriff's Office, the truck was driven by Jaden Wallace, an 18-year-old student who was with four other teenagers, and they were toilet papering Hughes' trees.

I didn't know by name, but I do know the story.

So Jason Hughes is this beloved math teacher, and he's also a golf coach.

The prank was not a, we don't like this teacher.

The prank was actually... He was a beloved teacher.

It was almost like a... What do you call it when it's like a ritual, right?

Like a... What was the tradition?

It was a tradition, right?

It was a tradition that these seniors did every year, you know...

Did you toilet paper anyone's house when you were in high school?
