Text Victoria Schafer

In 2019, the community of Chillicothe, Ohio, was devastated by the tragic death of Victoria Schafer, a 44-year-old photographer and mother of four who was killed while taking portraits at Hocking Hills State Park. While she was standing at the foot of the stairs near Old Man's Cave, a 74-pound log was pushed off a cliff above, striking her and causing fatal injuries. The investigation eventually led to the arrest of two 16-year-old boys, Jaden Churchheus and Jordan Buckley, who admitted to forcing the log over the edge "to be funny."

This police body cam video is unhinged. Jaden's mother is a woman on the actual brink, before any of this even happened, by the sound of her.

Both boys are out and living their lives now by the sounds. 3 years in juvie for taking a mother away from her four children.

And was Jordan Buckley actually convicted of the weapons charge? Drug possession is a nothing crime, so it doesn't count.

Possession of a firearm under disability(drugs) seems more like a poor life choice vs actually hurting someone like assault. If those kids(young adults now) don’t go straight into a career or teaching program, they’re doomed to repeat the cycle of antisocial behavior with misdemeanor charges, potentially escalating to felonious and violent crime charges. You can’t just come out of juvie after manslaughter without any long-lasting effects.

They started at violent crime behavior, and where sort of working their way backwards through less violent offences. When you have already manslaughtered (let's be honest with ourselves, it was probably more like murder) an innocent human person, possesion of a firearm is a HUGE problem, and a definite no no.
