Eleven days later, Newell announced that Rodolph would not be charged. He cited several factors in his decision, including the fact that Rodolph took responsibility for his actions, was extremely remorseful, didn't intend to cause harm, had no criminal history and served in Iraq.

Gary Wilmot, an instructor at the National Outdoor Leadership School, said that while he feels compassion for Rodolph, throwing a rock from a cliff is irresponsible.

this caught my eye. While i respect those that served in the military and Iraq i don't see what that has to do with charging him.



Him comeing up and saying he did it. not trying to hide it or deflect blame is great. give him respect for that. to bad he is irrisponsible and it caused someone to get killed.

I know, I saw it in the article too. It was a semi-rhetorical question... they mentioned that he's an Iraq war vet to elicit sympathy where none is deserved.

Wow, that situation just plain sucks for everyone involved. The only good part of this is that the guy owned up to his stupidity.

wow talk about being in the right place (outdoors in a beautiful place) at the wrong time. I hope Im never in a situation like that but its good to know that there's a chance I can pull the Iraq war veteran card 😀 j/k

 

[kindest]

terrible thing to happen but i would have to think the guy should be punished.

I think some sort of monetary compensation for awhile to the family members that the guy left behind would be fair.
Maybe they can get something with a civil suit.
