Tyler Schlegal, 17, was arrested after car racing with two friends that led to an accident Friday night on Gosling Rd. Schlegal, and two friends, Karson Cardoza and an unidentified teen male were leaving a movie theater after seeing the movie "Need for Speed" and decided to see how fast they could go in their cars down Gosling Rd. The two vehicles came into contact with each other, causing the vehicle Cardoza was in to lose control. The car then veered off the road and struck an Entergy electrical box before hitting a tree. Cardoza was able to escape from the passenger seat and ran to the nearest gas station for assistance. Schlegal fled the scene and parked his vehicle down the street as he returned back to the scene on foot.
As first responders were attempting to cut the driver out of the BMW, bystanders alerted police officer he was the driver of this tragic incident. Shenandoah police, who were on the scene, approached Schlegal who fled once again, leading the officers in a foot chase; he was later apprehended near the scene. Schlegal was arrested and booked into the Montgomery County Jail on charges of accident causing serious bodily injury, racing on a highway causing serious bodily injury and evading arrest.
1. Do you think the teenager received a light sentence why or why not?

1. Do you think the teenager received a light sentence why or why not?
2. Do you think the court system (adjudication) should have charged the suspect as an adult because of his reckless driving and fleeing from police officer?
In my opinion, Shlegal was sanctioned correctly. Although I am not sure of how much jail or prison time he is supposed to serve, he has been rightfuly charged with the crimes he has commited. As for charging him as an adult I am not sure. Because many teenagers have done worst then reckless street racing, and are still convicted as juveniles. But if he were convicted as an adult, he could serve as an example for all other reckless driving teenagers. That way they know that this is very serious, because I know that even in our community many driving youth's are not careful when driving. But what of the other two boys? Where they also sanctioned, or not? Another thing I'd like to add is that it seems to me that this three young men were very much influenced by the movie, "need for speed". Does anyone else think that what we watch influences how we act, think, and feel?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because there is kids out there killing people. He didn't do that on purpose to hurt his friend he didn't mean to do it it just happen. He probably already feels bad cause his friend.

DeleteI agree Juanita. What about the other two boys? They were all apart of racing. What were there sanctions? But I do disagree with the fact people think movies or televisions influences them.
DeleteI agree Juanita. He should be an example for all the other juveniles. And yes I believe movies influences teenagers to act how they do now.
DeleteYou bring up a good point, the other driver of the vehicle should also be charged. The driver of the other vehicle should have been charged with reckless driving as well. Teens need to be aware that the movies with street racing are fictional and can lead to serious consequences.
DeleteI agree with you Juanita. There are juveniles out there doing worst things than racing. Schlegal and his friends were in fact influenced by the movie to go out and race down Gosling Road. I do personally believe that the things we see in movies, videos, and even listening to a song can influence anybody to do something. I also agree that Schlegal got a good enough sanction, but whatever happened to the other two?
DeleteI agree with your opinion Juanita, Those teenagers don't the real danger they can cause by racing in high speed. It almost cost them their life. Now I don't think he should be charged as an adult since nothing critical happened, so the sanction that Schlegal got is acceptable.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Juanita, there was no intentional harm trying or being caused to other civilians only teenagers trying to have some fun after seeing an action packed film. Now he should not be charged as an adult since nothing major or critical enough happened, so the sanction that Schlegal received is efficient enough for him to deal with.
DeleteI also agree with the sanction he has been given. as for charging him as an adult as well, like you said there have been worse cases with teens and automobiles but lets keep in mind that he evaded capture and I believe that takes it to another level.
DeleteI don't feel like he should be charged as an adult because no one was killed. He got the appropriate sentence and no he will have time to think about his mistakes and hopefully learn form them. Giving him a worse sentence is only going to make hus life worse and instead of reflecting on the situation he's going to go into a life of crime.
ReplyDeleteGiving him a light sentence would also probably not let him see the severity of the crime he committed. Some one could have lost their live. I do think he should be charged as an adult.
DeleteIf he was given a light sentence it would be like a slap on the hand and a do not do this again kind of deal. He would think its fine to do it again and maybe hurt someone and cause him to ruin his life more.
DeleteI agree with Ms. Gibson, the teen should be charged as an adult because no one was killed. Thankfully it was just injuries. I think a few years in jail will help him realize the difference between reality and science fiction.
DeleteI agree I feel like he should be charged like an adult. even though no deaths were caused that matter of the fact is that was dangerous and irresponsible What if he would have killed the other two teens what if he would have hit a civilian Walking home from work. So yes I agree he should be charged as an adult.
DeleteYou are was no one was hurt in the accident and he were to be given a heavier sentence just for racing I would have also thought it was wrong. Maybe he shouldn't bee given a larger sentence only for racing but evading arrest? Now that I think does deserve a larger sentence. Maybe not to charge him as an adult but a larger punishment than what was set for him.
DeleteI disagree. I think that whatever sanction he is given will make him an example. Why should he get 30+ years for one simple mistake? No one was killed or severely injured so why slam the book on him?
ReplyDeleteI disagree with your disagreement stating "he made one simple mistake". The teenager made quite a few mistakes for one he flew the scene, he was reckless driving, and he also caused damage to whatever it was he ran into. Yes, no one was hurt, but someone could have gotten hurt, so why not slam the book on him? It’s the only way to teach him a lesson, and also set an example for whoever attempts to race in the future.
DeleteI think it’s not fair what going to happen to him because he was responsible for getting after the wheel he should be responsible for the damages he has caused. He should be charged an adult because he was acting as an adult when he was driving; or in the first place he should of never drove knowing he was under age. People know that if their underage there must have a driver’s license or at least a permit. In my opinion they should be charging him as an adult since he was recklessly driving and causing an accident.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with you because he just watched a racing movie he thought he was having fun. He shouldn't be charged as a adult because he probably already scared and feels bad cause of his friend is hurt.
DeleteI disagree with you Chris because they could of killed themselves or hurt someone while they were having “fun”. If they wanted to race they should of played a racing game or something.
DeleteI agree with you Juanita and what Chris responded as the reply because of the good points that the two pointed out. For example, Chris said that there are other people that are given time in jail for murdering people and yet they get a little bit of time. So therefore he should receive a small sentence because of the way that they criminal justice system is handed out. Then what Juanita wrote was I think it’s not fair what going to happen to him because he was responsible for getting after the wheel he should be responsible for the damages he has caused.
DeleteFrankly, I myself wouldn't know if to charge him as an adult or not. Like most teenagers he made a mistake by recklessly driving. But does he really deserve to be sanction harshly for a foolish mistake he made? I don't think so, he is young and bound to make mistakes just like the rest of us. He indeed needs to be punished so that he learns from his mistake. But no so severely to where he spends half of his youth behind bars.
DeleteI agree with you Jackie. i believe he should be charged as an adult because he was on the street and could have caused harm to someone.
DeleteI don't think that the teenager should be charged as a adult. Because the teenager probably thought he was just having fun and that made him cause a accident. The teen was scared because he hurt his friend and then the police were coming to help so he decided to run but I don't think he should be tryed as a adult for that. He already probably feels bad cause his friend that made him run.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn’t matter that there teenagers if they are taking actions like adults. If the teen was really scared of his friend getting hurt then he should have thought about it before racing in the first place and running away. They took the wheel so they should take responsibility of an adult. I don’t believe putting the public in the state of danger is fun.
DeleteI disagree with you Chris Gonzalez. I do not think it was fun to put the public in danger. He might have been afraid because his friend got hurt, but he should have taken control of his actions and should have stayed with his friend until police arrived. He was already going to get in trouble there was no point in fleeing the scene.
DeleteI disagree with you Chris Gonzalez because he should’ve known the consequences of his actions the minute he decided to race. I believe that he should be tried as an adult because he might’ve parked his car somewhere else because he was scared but he ran from the police. He deserves to be tried as an adult because he put peoples life’s in danger, and now his friend is in the hospital.
DeleteI disagree with you Chris because like all these people had said he took actions of his own knowing what were the consequences. He should of thought about it twice. I think he should get charged as in a adult because he put other people life in danger.
DeleteI don't agree with you because he just watched a racing movie he thought he was having fun. He should be charged as an adult because he hurt someone already because of street racing and he got lucky it wasn’t more people than what he already hurt. He’s probably already scared and feels bad cause of his friend is hurt but he should pay the consequences for what he did knowing it was illegal.
DeleteI don't agree Chris. I understand the fact that they want to go out and have fun, but you got to think about your surroundings and others.
DeleteI agree with you Chris because is not like they kill someone, they should be charge with what they did. He just race because they were influence by a movie is not like drinking and driving it was just a accident nothing of big deal.
DeleteI disagree with you Chris because it doesn't matter if they weren't trying to get in a wreck. They were still causing danger to the public and that shouldn't be allowed.
DeleteI agree with you Chris, everybody has their moments when driving on the streets weather it being a simple cut-off happening right in front of you or when your being childish with your buddies seeing how’s faster yes they were being wreck less but, at the same time they were not really a huge danger.
DeleteI disagree with chris this teen should be charged as an adult. What he did could have really hury someone or killed them all . He needs to learn a lesson and give him the maximum penalty. The court should have have him more time I agree with giving him more time.
DeleteI agree with you, Joe. This teen would be charged as an adult. The boy needs to learn from his horrible decision.
DeleteI agree with you, the teenager should be charger as an adult for his reckless actions. He put people in danger and he shouldn't get away with just a light sentence.
DeleteI believe the teenagers should be charged as adults because they shouldn’t have been racing in the first place. It shouldn’t matter if they are having "fun" someone they don’t know could have gotten seriously hurt. The sentences in my thought are considered to be just a slap in the hand and no one will learn from this. In their age it quite obvious they could have thought about it before doing it.

DeleteI strongly agree with you Ronaldo Rodriguez. The teenager should be charged as an adult. He should have thought about the consequence he could face and the danger he put the public in. I agree with you on the sentencing, it was a slap on the hand. Tyler Schlegal will not learn his lesson from the wrong he did and will probably watch another racing movie and do it again because it was so “fun”.
DeleteThat a great reason for why he should be charged as an adult Rolando but yet I believe that only one was charged not all of them. Plus in this case he’s getting a lot of charges that will make him end up in a prison facility. So therefore, he’s sentence will be larger if he is charged as adult. In my opinion everyone has the opportunity to understand that what he committed was wrong. In compliance to the second question get in his shoes and understand that he is still young and has a life in front of him. So in that case would you like to get more years in prison and come out looking like a 50 year old? So think about what a reasonable charge can be for him and then you can say what you want to.
DeleteYou made a very strong case Jonathan Ramos. Which has now helped me make my decision as to wether convict him as an adult or not. And my final rendering is no. You have very well pointed out that he is young and if convicted as an adult could possibly waste his life in prison. He obviously meant no harm. I guess he thaught that he was going to have some fun but didn't really consider the consequences of his reckless driving.
DeleteI agree with you rolando
DeleteHe should be charged as an
Adult for what he did .
I completely agree with you Jonathan, he is responsible for his actions he is not a little kid he knew very well what he was doing. He chose to have fun, but that fun is going to cause him many years in prison. They should charge him as an adult because like I said he is not a little kid.
DeleteI come to believe that Schlegal should be charged for what he committed. Yet I know that he did not get a “slap on the wrist”, this is because he is facing charges that even though they do not look like serious charges they can still send him to jail for the offenses he did for some time. As for the second question no I believe that he should not be charged as an adult even in this case that the teen is barely seventeen years old. The reason for this is because he is still young and the charges that he is facing are for him to be in prison for a long period of time. Hence he should not be charged as an adult but as a minor and the charges he received are plenty for him to understand that what he did was wrong. Hopefully he will learn his lesson, therefore he will not do it again.
ReplyDeleteI believe that he was given the right charges for the crime he committed. He ran from the police and for doing that he was charged with evading police. He was also charged with accident causing serious bodily injury. I believe that there are some other charges that should have been given to him. I also believe that he was tried as an adult because adults are charged for evading police when they run from the police. Another charge that should have been given to him should’ve been resisting arrest because he fled the scene.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jose because he should of thought about what he did in the first place.I would also give him those charges not only that he put other people's life endanger.
DeleteI agree with you because there is kids out there killing people. He didn't do that on purpose to hurt his friend he didn't mean to do it it just happen. He probably already feels bad cause his friend.
DeleteI agree with you Jose, although all the charges fit the crime, I too believe that other charges where missing. I also agree that Tyler Schlegal should be charged as an adult.
DeleteI totally agree with you Jose he shouldn't of had ran from the police. Also, they should of charged him with resisting arrest.
DeleteI agree with you Jose. Those are accurate charges to what he did. I also agree he should also be charged as an adult. He should be set as an example to all teenagers doing this. This crime should not be something you should easily get away with, which is why I totally agree with your statement.
DeleteIn my perspective, the teenager should not receive a light sentence for the fact that he was aware of what he was doing and the danger he put the public in. I believe Tyler Schlegal should be charged as an adult and be sentenced to seven years in prison. He should have not fled the scene and should have been responsible enough to face any consequences because of his reckless driving. Schlegal should have known he was going to get in trouble and stayed instead of fleeing the scene.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with your opinion because he should be considered as an adult. The points you gave are quite true in him not staying in the scene with his friend. I also strongly agree with the sentence you gave him.
DeleteI agree with you Marisol that he knew what he was doing and he should be charged as an adult. I believe that he should get at least ten years in prison for running from the police and causing his friend to crash.
DeleteI strongly agree with you, Tyler should have not fled the scene and for his actions there are consequences. Also, I agree with the sentence you gave him and hopefully by being in prison he learns his lesson.
DeleteI agree and disagree with you, Marisol. I agree with you because yes, he should not have fled the scene because like you said,"He should have been responsible enough to face any consequences because of his reckless driving" but no, I disagree on you with the part where you said he should be charged as an adult because many of teens do not think before they act. He was frightened, explaining the reason why he fled the scene.
DeleteI agree with you. Fleeing the scene was a wrong decision he made, after the car accident. He should be charged as an adult.

ReplyDeleteTyler Schlegal and his friend’s should be charged for what they did that night.They should not get a light sentence because they are old enough to realize that they could of hurt another person on the street or even killed someone while they were racing just because they saw a movie about it. As for the other question I think they should charge him as an adult because of his reckless driving and from fleeing from the cops he acted like an adult so he should get charged as an adult.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Francisco, just because the two teenagers watched a movie having to do with racing, it doesn’t give them an excuse for the damage they have done. Although the teenager didn’t seriously injure or kill an innocent by stander, he could have, he’s just lucky he didn’t. You’re also right he did flee the scene as an adult would, therefor he should be charged as an adult.
DeleteI agree with you Marisol that he knew what he was doing and he should be charged as an adult. I believe that he should get at least ten years in prison for running from the police and causing his friend to crash.
DeleteNo he should not receive a light sentence. He should be tried as an adult. They knew their actions had the same justifications.Not just because they watched a movie, others were put in harm's way because of their recklessness even innocent citizens. No light sentence let him face the real world at full speed now, being an adult with a driver's license starts the day you get your license it's a responsibility and full responsibility of this accident is his.
ReplyDeleteI can see your reasons why you would charge him as an adult. Although he should know better, he is 17 and, according to law, he is under age. Therefore, he shouldn't be tried as an adult in my opinion. I do however agree with not giving him a light sentence. He deserves to be punished for his careless actions.
DeleteI agree with you Crystal. He should be charged as an adult no matter what age, but what he committed he knew the consequences his going to take. Also, I agree not giving light sentence because he should learn a lesson what he committed.
DeleteI agree with you crystal. I agree on the way that he should be charged as an adult, it doesn’t matter if it was because of a movie ,he knew what he was doing was wrong. He needs to learn from his actions.
DeleteI agree with you crystal. One reason is because I see why you say that they should be tried as an adult, they were old enough to know good from wrong and they did the wrong thing nd should be punished for their actions.
DeleteIn my opinion I think Shlegal received the correct sanction that was given to him. I strongly believe he is at the age where he should know right from wrong; he had to have known what he was doing when he got behind the wheel. He also tried feeing from the scene, with that said he had to have seen the damage he had done.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand I think the teenager should be trialed as an adult, because of his reckless driving, trying to flee the scene, causing harm to someone, and also for the damage he had done. Although he is 17 years of age, he shouldn’t have attempted to run from the police, and he shouldn’t have been care less driver by racing.
Yes great point Erica, I agree with you he should be tried as an adult because he knew exactly what he was doing. However yes he is only 17 but he’s a lot closer to the age of 20, there for he should know right from wrong and what he did was absolutely wrong.

DeleteI understand where you come from where you said he shouldn't have been careless. I can also understand why he ran because he was scared like everyone in the world is when they commit a crim. I'm agreeing with you on he should be trialed as a adult.
I believe that Tyler Schlegal was charged appropriately. He is old enough to know that street racing is not an intelligent action to do. He could have hurt someone more severely or possibly killed someone. Some prison time would help him realize that his actions were ignorant and immature. However, I do not think that he should be charged as an adult because his age is clearly 17. Adults are age of 18 not 17. Just because you flee from the police or drive recklessly does not mean you should be tried as an adult. His age is what it is and should be followed as the law says.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Lourdes, They did know what they were doing and they could have seriously hurt someone else or themselves possibly even killed someone. Reckless driving is very dangerous and that’s why I think he should be charged differently than what he did because like u said he could have hurt someone else.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI completely agree with you Lourdes, he should not be charged as an adult since he is 17. Tyler fortunately did not cause the death of his friend and was charged appropriately. If Tyler would have caused his friends death, than there is justification to charge him as an adult. The charges that will follow Tyler on his record should serve as a reminder to turn his life around.
DeleteI agree with you Lourdes, he needs prison time to think about what he did. I also agree on the fact that he is only 17 years old and to be charged as an adult you need to be 18.
DeleteI totally agree with you. He is 17 years old, not 18. Schlegal should not be charged as an adult.
DeleteI agree with you Lourdes he should receive some prison time to realize what he did wrong and that might help him grow up some more.
DeleteI completely agree with you Lourdes because he did commit a crime evading arrest and driving like a complete maniac. But regarding the age he should be charged as an adult because he could of hurt someone and have the mentality of " I don’t care they are going to charge me as a 17 year old anyways ".
DeleteI don't think that the teenager should be charged as a adult. Because the teenager probably thought he was just having fun and that made him cause a accident. The teen was scared because he hurt his friend and then the police were coming to help so he decided to run but I don't think he should be tryed as a adult for that. He already probably feels bad cause his friend that made him run.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter how bad he felt. That was a crime that could have seriously led to the involuntary manslaughter of an innocent individual. Having fun doesn't neccessarily mean being reckless. Being behind a wheel is serious responsibility.
DeleteI strongly agree with you mariajose because it doesn't matter how bad he felt.he committed a crime and he should be punished. Exactly if your behind the wheel yoir suppose to take responsibility
DeleteI agree with you Mariajose and Alexis. It doesn't matter how bad he felt, he committed a crime and he should regret what he has done. Yet, they should of knew the consequences they going to take.
DeleteI agree with all of you, the way that Tyler feels should not interfere with the charges. Also I think that if Tyler is old enough to drive he should be more responsible for his actions and should not had raced.
DeleteI agree with all of you, does not justify for Tyler and his friend's actions. Also, Tyler is mature enough to not flee the scene and cause a disaster. It does not matter how bad he felt he continued to commit a crime in another crime and he should be tried as an adult.
DeleteI agree with you Jessie, everybody has their moments when driving on the streets. It could be a simple cut-off happening right in front of you or when your being childish with your friends seeing who’s faster yes they were being wreck less but, at the same time they were not really a huge danger.
DeleteHe definitely received a light sentence considering the gravity of his crimes. He also very well knew what he was doing when he was driving recklessesly and then intentionally fled from the cops, so why not charge him as an adult. They got off lucky considering they only faced serious bodily injuries, when in fact someone could have easily passed away.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because he did know what he was doing and still decided to do it anyway. True they could have died
DeleteI disagree with both of yall. He watched a movie that made as well as all the teens feel invincible. I'm sure the idea of leaving the scene came from the movie, the actors made it seem so easy. They did get lucky with the fact that no one died but im sure with a couple of month in prison he has learned his lesson.
DeleteI don't know what to really say about the situation. I don't think there is really much you can charge the two kids with. Unless they arrest them for reckless endangerment, but there's not much to charge them. I know for sure they should have charged them as an adult. It's about taking responsibility of your actions and thinking before you do.
ReplyDeleteAccording to what I read Tyler was sanctioned correctly because he did do all that even though it was an accident. He is old enough to know that street racing is illegal and dangerous he shouldn't have done that in the first place. For him being tried as an adult I don't think so because teenagers had done more worse and reckless things and have still been tried as juveniles.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with you Alexis on the part of him being fully aware of what he was doing when he began to race with his other friends. Teenagers and reckless but part of being reckless are the consequences you are going to have to face and they knew it was wrong and very dangerous to race so in my opinion he should be charged as an adult
DeleteI believe he should have been charged as an adult . This is because if he doesn't get a harsh punishment he will be letting other teens it's okay to do that. And also he could have killed someone or even himself. He has to know right from wrong but it was his choice to do wrong . So every action has it's consequences.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Jocelyn I think every teenager knows that street racing is illegal and very dangerous so if he is not charged as an adult than of course his sentence will be less than if he was charged as an adult so to set the right example he should be charged as an adult he really could have hurt anybody on the street not just himself of his friends
DeleteI agree with you how he should be charged as an adult. What he was doing was wrong and knew it was wrong to do that, he knew what he was getting himself into. Actions do always have consequences.
DeleteI disagree with your statement as to saying to charge Schlegal as an adult. He got charged with every crime he committed that night. What difference would it make i he got charged as an adult. Now, if someone would have died then go for it. Charge him as an adult, but luckily in this situation no one died. Yes, every action has its consequences and he's received the appropriate ones.
DeleteIn my perspective, I believe he was giving the right charges he had committed, but he shouldn't receive no light sentence because he knew what was going to happen and the consequences his going to take. Also, I believe the teenager should be charged as an adult because of his reckless driving, fleeing from police officer, and causing serious bodily injury.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I believe that he recived the right charges. He knew exactly what he was doing and the risks he was taking by driving fast and racing on the street. The fact that he atempted to fled the police after he was able to escape the car is just another fact to show that he was in total control and aware of the gravity of his situation and of what he had done. Someone could have seriously been hurt and as for the charges in my opinion he should be charged as an adult.
ReplyDeleteI agree he should be charged as an adult because he knew what he was doing. He could have thought it through and not try to drive recklessly. The only good thing was no one was killed for his reckless behavior.
DeleteIn my perspective believe that he definitely received a light sentence considering the act of his actions. He deserves something more than what he received. He also knew exactly what he was doing when he was driving recklessly and then intentionally fled from the police, so why not charge him as an adult? They got off lucky considering they only faced serious bodily injuries, when in fact someone could have easily gotten killed. Things like this should be taken a lot more serious then how this problem was faced.
ReplyDeleteI believe that he should be charged as an adult. The reason why is because he knew what he was doing and getting himself into, he shouldn’t be racing in the first place. He’s old enough to know what’s right and what’s wrong. Also, if they give him a light sentence many other teens are going to see and are going to want to the same thing. Then, also he had fled the scene.
ReplyDeleteTrue couldn't have said it any better.
DeleteIn my opinion the teen was charged fairly since he allegedly broke multiple laws. The teen should have not been driving recklessly because one of his friends or himself could have died due to the impact. Tyler should not be charged as an adult since a higher charge such as manslaughter did not occur. Hence, hopefully Tyler learns his lesson because he almost lost a friend and he caused himself some jail time.
ReplyDeleteIn my perspective, I believe the teenagers recieved the correct charges. They knew exactly what they were doing and the consequences they took. Also, I believe Tyler should be charged as an adult for reckless driving and fleeing from the police officer. The teenagers and Tyler are mature enough to know that street racing is illegal and very dangerous. Tyler knew what was right from wrong but instead he choice wrong.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Stephanie! They should own up to what they did and take the charges they receive or what they were given. By age 17 I strongly believe they should known what's right and what's wrong. It's just the choices they choose, and they have consequences they must deal with.
DeleteI believe the sanctions appointed to Schlegal are appropriate. They charged him with everything he did that night so I don't understand why people are saying he should be charged as an adult. Yes, I know someone could have been killed, but in this situation no one's life was lost. If someone had died, then yes, charge him as an adult. The only reason he and his friends raced were because of being influenced by the movie "Need for Speed" which is to me a very childish reason. The things around us do, as a matter of fact, make us do things that are either good or bad. But what I would like to know is what happened with the two friends? Did they not get any punishment for their involvement in all of this?
ReplyDeleteGood point Anaruth; I don't understand why some people get very motivated by movies that clearly show as a crime like the street racing. I also agree about him not having an adult charge; it's like you said that no ones life was lost and about it being just an accident. This is indeed a dangerous world because of people being easily influence by the wrong decisions they see. I also wonder what happened to those other two friends as well.
DeleteI agree with you, because they didn't kill someone or do something extremely bad. They were just influence badly, I'm also wondering what happened to his friends.
DeleteIn my opinion Tyler Schlegal received appropriate charges due to his fatuous behavior. The charges seem to fit the wrong doings of Tyler, so it all seems fair. Also I do believe that the court system should charge Tyler as an adult, even if he is seventeen years of age. In my opinion he is old enough to know what is right and wrong, so he should not have broken the law in such childish way. Tyler Schlegal, in my opinion, should only go to jail for only a couple of months if this was his first offense.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Cesar, i think he got what he deserves. However i disagree with you on him being charged as an adult.
Delete
DeleteI agree that he was old enough to know the difference between right and wrong but being a minor changes nothing the childish way he broke the law could have cost him his life the life of life of his friend or an innocent person. The time he took racing and fleeing the law and the accident scene plus the clean up was all because of his need for a thrill break it now save a life later and stop his idea that he can continue to get away with the behavior he's doing now by a full sentence allowed under the current law.
I don't think the teenager got a light sentenced, i think he got what he deserved even though he did cause harm to someone. As far as charging him as an adult, i think he was charged correctly because other teenagers have done worst things than Tyler did and they weren't charged as an adult so why should he? I do however believe that he should get a harsh punishment for everything he did.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you . He got punished the correct way . Yes he was street racing but luckily no harm as bad was made . Just hoping he learns from this and realizes just because its on a movie doesn't mean you go out there and do it . Consequences were fair enough .
DeleteI think that he sould be put away for enough time for him to have learned his lesson.
ReplyDeleteFrom my opinion, his sanction is indeed appropriate because no one wasn't killed in the scene; it was just an accident cause by the influence of the racing movie. Schlegal should not have an adult charge because it really wasn't that serious like a manslaughter or any other critical crime. Besides in his time in jail with his injury and guilt of his mistake, he would probably think twice about making an unnecessary decision like that again.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you . His actions weren't as big as a mirder crime . He saw a movie and felt influenced by it . Just hoping that he learns from being guilty . maybe the jail time he does get will show him not to make those mistakes again. Being charged as an adult isn't necessary .
DeleteI agree with you Javier the sanction was appropriate for the crime. It's a good thing he didn't kill anyone. He is still young and he will learn from his mistake. He shouldn't be charged as an adult there are others who have done worst.
DeleteYes, they should treat him as an adult since he thought he was old enough to go street racing.He should man up and face the concequinces.Due to that, yes he'll be charged with all the actoins he commited and for his failure in not following the regulations in the laws.
ReplyDeleteI do believe he was charged light but street racing isn't a big crime . So it is fair. He is a teenager and he shouldn't be charged as an adult . Luckily this incident didn't kill anyone . They both survived so both should be thankful . A lesson should be learned here . Since both are teenagers they need to realize that not everything seen on a movie needs to be tried out . I hope both of them can come to a conclusion and be taught that they shouldn't be racing because you can lose control and what if next time they end up crashing into another car and end up killing a child or any other human . They won't be charged as a teenager there .
ReplyDeleteAccording to the 8 amendment Sclegal should be charge according to his crime no more nor less. He made a ludicrous decision because he knows that reckless driving is bad and can cause accidents. Even though he cause a accident and damage he should not be charge as an adult because there is some teens that do worst things and don't get charge as adults he should just be in juvenile detention center and charge the proper way.I believe he was not charge the proper way he was over charged.
ReplyDeleteAs you said he shouldn't be charged as an adult. He needs time in juvenile detention center to be punished for the dumb decision he made. Hope this can make him realize how fooling around could of almost killed he's friend. All teens need to drive carefully because this is just one case of many.
DeleteI agree in some part with you Jesse. The youmd individual acted recklessly on the decisions he made. Also I believe thag he was charged correctly I do undestand your point of view on the situations but I disagree that he should be charged less.
DeleteI believe that he received the right sentnce for the accident he caused. I can understand how the movie "Need for Speed" could of trigger the teens to do such a thing. I read a article named "Movies may cause special effects on the body," and with just the name you can see how the movie could of made them feel a certain way and caused the acccident. I dont think he should be charged as an adult, he just need some time in prison to learn he lesson.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you vanessa. Many movies trigger that feeling that everything can be possible because we see it, but in reality it can cause danger like in this situation. Also I agree with you that he shouldn't be charged as an adult, and I hope he learns his lesson.
DeleteThe movie had no effect on Schlegal to race down the highway. It was his own decision to race.
DeleteI agree that some movies do trigger teen to do such things with out thinking what can really happen because not all the time things happen the way they are planed. I also say that he shouldn't be charge as an adult is just a mistake he made thank God nothing else happen.
DeleteI agree with you Vanessa. Many things may influence teens to do something reckless, but that is still not an excuse to do it. As a teenager he should have known that racing in a street would cause an accident. Instead of prison, I think he should get a few weeks or a month in prison as he didn’t hurt anyone.
DeleteThe movie didn't make him or force him to react the way he did. He chose his actions and decided to start racing without thinking the damage he could cause to others and himself. He acted reckless and for that he shouldn't get a light sentence.
DeleteI agree with you Vanessa. Movies do trigger teen to do such things without thinking what can really happen because not all the time things happen the way they are planed. Also I agree with you that he shouldn't be charged as an adult, and I hope he learns his lesson.
DeleteI believe that Scegal was charged with the correct sanctions. He was probably frightening and thats why he tried to run away from the police. He was driving recklessly and that could of caused even more serious consequences than what he caused. Teenagers need to realize the difference between reality and fantasy. I think that they will learn something from this experienece they brought to themselves. They should be thankful that nothing happened to them. Other teenagers have caused worse crime so I think that, thaf was the correct sanction for the young individual.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement. He is just a teenager and does not think about the consequences. Those sanctions are correct for him.
DeleteHe was an irresponsible teenager who will learn from his mistake. I agree that he ran because he was terrified of the consequences he will receive for the accident.
DeleteI agree that he was charged with the correct sanction because he is a teenager that didn't measure the consequences of his action. I also believed he would learn from this experience that he cause to himself.
DeleteI agree with you. He was charged with the correct sanction according to his actions. He was afraid and ran away. He's still a teenager and he was afraid of what he did.
DeleteI agree with you that Schlegal did receive the right sentence. He will eventually learn the difference between reality and fantasy while he spends sometime in jail for what he did and running away from the police. Teenagers don’t think before they act especially whenever something influences them to do it.
Delete. In my opinion, Schlegal was charged with the right sanctions. He shouldn't be charged as an adult. Schlegal is just 17 years old. Many teens in that age do not think clearly on consequences. Thankfully there were no deaths, but his sanctions will give him his lesson. I do not think he should be charged as an adult.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Tyler should not be charged as an adult because many teenagers make dumb mistakes. Most teenagers do not think about the consequences that can happen when they are trying to impress their friends. Yes, thankfully there were no deaths in this case. He clearly knew what he was doing, so he deserves the sentence given to him.
DeleteIndeed he shouldn't be charged as an adult. As well as learned his lesson of knowing the sudden consequences that would've happen. Moreover in agreeing with you Schlegal is just a teen and relating to the teens out there we don't think positive on certain circumstance.
DeleteI believe Tyler got what he deserved. He fled from the police officers and basically resisted arrest. He clearly knew what he was doing and should suffer the consequences. He should not be charged as an adult because as most teenagers, he made a wrong decision. Yes, he did watch a movie and wanted to make his own version but that does not give him the right to put others in danger. There is a reason why they have stunt doubles to do the dangerous scenes. Just because I go and watch a movie about Michael Myers, does not mean I am going to go on a killing spree. He should be held accountable for his actions.
ReplyDeleteYes, Kimberly I do agree with you on the part where you say that he clearly knew what he was doing and should suffer the consequences. He should also know that just by doing this, many lives were in danger as well.
DeleteSchlegal received the correct sanction for his crime. He was not the only one who can be blamed for the accident. Schlegal and his friend were both racing down the highway. He was luck that his friend did not die or it would've been worse for him. They will think before trying to replicate what they saw on a t.v. show or movie.
ReplyDeleteI agree, they are both responsible for their actions. They both decided to race and impersonate the people in the movie. They wanted to feel cool and that resulted in one getting injured. Luckily, the friend is still alive. I am pretty sure they will learn from this experience. He does deserve to be punished though.
DeleteI agree as well, this movie gave them all the wrong ideas and now they're paying for. I believe they all deserve some type of punishment. Some time in jail should give them enough time to think about how ignorant that idea was.
DeleteIn my opinion the 17 year old should not be tried as an adult. Yes he did wrong because one he cause an accident for racing, two he ran from the police, and he also resist arrest because he fled the scene. At the moment he didn’t think of the consequences for racing all he wanted was to have fun. I do believe that some movies do trigger teen to do things. Hopefully with the charges he received he should learn his lesson.
ReplyDeleteIndeed learned his lesson from evading the police. As well as dont do things just because of seeing a movie reenacting it out in the real world. Also in agreeing with you he shouldn't be tried as an adult. Moreover he should be charged of the things hes done.
DeleteI believe Tyler received the right sanction for the incident he has caused. Although he did watch that movie, there was no reason for him to even think that he would be able to do his own version and get away with it. No, he should not be charged as an adult because most teens now a days do not think about what they do before they act. He wanted to have fun, yes, I understand but he put other lives in danger. He did deserve a punishment for what he did. He should know that what he did was not right.
ReplyDeleteI agree he should have known what he was doing and even known the consequences for his actions. Yes he got all excited and into the movie, but that doesn't give him the right to do the same.
DeleteWith the consent of this, the teenager being at the age of 17 shouldn't have a light sentence. Not necessarily as an adult, the boy should be charged of his actions. He did the utmost dumbest thing all because of a movie. Not only endangering an innocent of possibly crashing into one but also endangering himself. I believe he should be apprehended from his actions. Be sentenced to a juvenile detention service.
ReplyDeleteI agree he should be sentenced do his actions he did.He did something bad for racing on the streets With another person and running on foot.
DeleteI disagree with you, Javier. They were just trying to have fun even though it was really dangerous. No one was hurt so i believe they received the proper punishment.
DeleteI believe Tyler Schlegal received the right sentence. I understand he put many lives in danger by racing his car on a street, but he didn’t actually hurt anyone. It is unclear how many days he is spending in jail, but it is well deserved. Many teenagers admire fast cars and sometimes want to copy what they see. The things people see influences them to try it on their own. Therefore, Schlegal shouldn’t be charged as an adult. Teenager’s brains aren’t fully developed and sometimes they don’t think before they act. It was very wrong of him to keep running from the police and his own mistakes, but he will eventually learn from it.
ReplyDeleteWell due to the fact no one dead, I do believe he got the right sentence for what he did. Tyler should have known better than to run away and leave the scene for that reason I do believe he should be charged as an adult. It shouldn't matter why he did it. Not even if he just saw the Need For Speed movie. That's no excuse what so ever. Not only did he put his own life in danger, he put everyone else's life in danger whoever was around him. I'm glad no one got in serious injuries, and no one died.
ReplyDeleteThe teenager should be tried as an adult because he was driving recklessly. Also, because he ran away from the police officer. They shouldn't of been driving the way they were in the first place. He put his life in danger and the life's of his friends.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Ramiro, but you have to remember they were both in it and knew what kind of consequences could have occurred. They knew it was illegal and something could go wrong so all the teens should have some sort of punishment.
DeleteI agree with you Ramiro. I also believe the teenager should be charged as an adult because he was careless and didn't stop to think of the consequences. He also ran away instead of facing the police. He risked many lives.
DeleteIn my opinion the teenager received the right sanction. He has been rightfully charged with the crimes he has committed and i think that it's fair. As for being charged as an adult, i don't think that he should. He is young and he still has a lot to learn. Many other teenagers have done much worse and have been tried as teenagers. I think he should be charged as a teenager because it's obvious he is still immature. It's also a good thing that no one died in this incident.
ReplyDeleteI agree he got the right sanctum because he did wrong on both parts to the crime.He should be charged as teenager so he could not do drag racing in the streets.
DeleteI agree with you the teenager received the right sanction. He has been rightfully charged with the crimes he has committed and I think that it’s fair.
DeleteI believe he received a somewhat fair sanction. It would of been wrong if he had gotten away with it. But it wasn't entirely his fault, the driver that was injured was also a part of it and it wasn't like he somehow made the car go out of control it just happened. He'll learn his lesson in jail and never street race again and same goes for the driver that was injured.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with you Crystal he did receive a somewhat fair sanction. Yes it wasn't entirely his fault, but the car got out of control because both cars made contact which then caused the car to go out of control. Yes this should be a well lesson learn for both of them.
DeleteI agree with you, Crystal. The teenagers were given a fair sanction. They were just trying to have fun but not in a safe way.
DeleteNo I don’t believe the teenager got a light sentence because he was not trying to intentionally or knowledge hurt HIS OWN FRIENDS. Yes it was an accident, yes he evaded arrest, yes he fled the scene but he was a scared teenager who did not know what to do. I am not saying what he did was right he should have stayed there and called for help or tried to help himself. So I don't believe his sentence was light. Also I don't believe the adjudication or court system should have trailed him as an adult because of his reckless actions. As I said before his actions were not knowingly or intentionally.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about him not getting a light sentence. I believe his sentence was just right for the crimes he committed, his charges were not light at all. I also agree with not charging him as an adult because in my opinion, he is still a teenager and his actions were simply a reaction of a state of panic.
DeleteI think he needs to be taught a lesson about driving recklessly and not caring about his life or others and puts people in danger. If he gets a really light sentence he will do it again. Some people who drive recklessly sometimes get a really light sentence and it makes them think they could do it again. I do think he should be sanctioned as an adult for what he did was reckless and could have really killed himself, his friends and other bystanders.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Nangel he does need to be taught a lesson about driving recklessly and not caring about his life others. But I don't agree with you when you say he will do it again if he gets a life sentence. Any sentence he would have received would and will teach him a lesson. Also I don't agree when you say he should be trialed as an adult his actions were not intentionally and knowingly, he did not plan for this to happen, what he did was not right but as well it was not something he planned so to me he should have got trailed as a teenager.
DeleteI agree with the statement that you stated, "If he gets a really light sentence he will do it again.", but I believe he did not get a light sentence whatsoever. He was charged for every crime he committed so I'm sure he will learn his lesson. I disagree with charging him as an adult because there have been much worse crimes committed by juveniles where they weren't charged as an adult either.
DeleteI believe the 17 year old should not be tried as an adult. Yes he did wrong because: one he cause an accident for racing, two he ran from the police, and he also resist arrest because he fled the scene. At the moment he didn’t think of the consequences for racing all he wanted was to have fun. I also believe that movies do trigger teen to do unexplainable things. Hopefully with the charges he received he should learn his lesson.
ReplyDeleteI understand why you say he shouldn't be charged as an adult Christian. I also agree why you said movies trigger you to do similar things, but you see so many teens race and die everyday and not because they just saw a movie that inspired them to do it. This should be taken seriously despite of the story behind it. Racing is causing many deaths everywhere and should be taken seriously.
DeleteSchlegal was wrong the minute he thought of racing. His actions was what I feel why he should be charged as an adult. He should've thought of his actions the minute he fled the scene the first time. He was probably to frightened and shocked by the incident. Yet, there was no reason to run away from the police. Only makes them think you're hiding something. Reckless driving should not be prohibited which is why this should be an example for future mishaps like these.
ReplyDeleteI believe that what the teenagers did for fun was carless and they did not think out what could have happened to one of them if something went wrong. I do not believe they should be tried as adults because they probably did not think out the situation and didn't mean to hurt anybody and they are also underage.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jair. The teens were careless of the situation and didn't stop to think the consequences. However, I do believe they should be charged as adult because they need to learn from their mistakes for being so careless.
DeleteI do agree with you when you say they were careless about there actions. What I don't agree with is when you say they shouldn't be tried as an adult. They should get tried as adults to learn a lesson and to know that it is not ok to flee from police and especially from the scene. Unfortunately, they didn't think it through but they do need to be punished.
DeleteThe sanction Shlegal received was pretty well accurate do the actions he committed during his time being on the street with his fellow companions acting as if they were apart of the film they witnessed. Even though they were so called ‘dangerous’ there was not such a huge risk to anybody else besides inflecting the damage upon themselves. Speeding down on the street is very serious but, not as much as committing a murderous one. After Shlegal gets released from being unconsecrated he will surely understand the crime he committed is something that should not be toyed with . As for being charged as an adult he should not be charged as one.
ReplyDeleteI agree for the most part I thought his sanction was OK,but I think they honestly left out some charges. I also agree with them not charging him as an adult they just need their license suspended for a good while
DeleteI believe that this young man should be charged as an adult. this teen needs to learshould lessson. He could have killed the other two teens so the charges she be moved to an adult. Then for the 15 Years should be moved up that's to light of sentence. So yes that's what I believe should happen to the young teen.
ReplyDeleteI disagree,if he were to be tried as an adult he really wouldn't learn anything except I made this one mistake .so now I'm spending majority of my life in prison. So why even change its a life basically down the drain.No they need to learn but it doesn't really require him to be charged as an adult .
DeleteI disagree with you because of the fact that he is only just a teenager and he should just go to the juvenile detention center. And 15yrs is way too long of a sentence I think that sentence doesn't fot the crime
DeleteI believe Schlegal's charges of causing serious bodily injury, racing on a highway and evading arrest are the appropriate charges he earned. However, he should be charged as an adult because he knew racing was dangerous but didn't stop to face the consequences. He shouldn't have been influenced from a simple movie that could have caused death. Teens don't understand the importance of being careful so I think he should be charged as an adult to learn from his mistakes.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you he should be charged with an adult because he thought he was old enough to street race. I also agree that he did receive the appropriate sanctions and should live up to them by being tried as an adult to make him reconsider his actions.
DeleteIn my opinion, shlegal should not be charge as an adult. No one was killed in the accident. I hope he learns from this mistake. But, he should not get a light sentence because he fled from the scene. He needs to get a fare sentence for what he did. Am glad that no one got hurt in the process of the race.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree. I believe he should be tried as an adult. Yes, no one was killed but it could have happen and it could have been worse. As for him not having a light sentence, I agree with you. Fleeing from the scene and an officer is not ok and he deserves to be punished for his actions.
DeleteI don't believe the teenager should be charged as an adult but I also believe that he knew how severe the accident had been because he fled the scene and later went back to check what was going on. Then when he arrived at the scene he ran away from the police. Yes nobody died in the incident but if the teen is to be charged as a minor he should definitely receive a larger sentence.
ReplyDeleteI believe the teenager should be tried as an adult. He thought he was grown enough to drive fast, then he's grown enough to get tried as an adult. He fled from the scene and ran from an officer and for that I believe he should get more time. Yes, he's an immature and young teenager but he knew what he was doing and he knew that he could injure, if not, kill someone. If all he gets is a slap on the hand, I strongly believe he can and will do it again. He should not get a light sentence.
ReplyDeleteFor my opinion, I honestly believe that the tenager should be charged as an adult. His decision to go and act a fool was wrong and he could have killed someone or better yet, his self, for not being smart. The teenager needs time to sit in his cell and comprehend on how his life could have turned into or see how his family would be, if he and his friends past away.
ReplyDeleteI strongly believe the teenager should have gotten a stronger punishment for his actions. He knew exactly what he was doing and he didn't care. He put people in danger and therefore he shouldn't get away with a light sentence. If we just treat it as nothing because he was speeding then he might go it again. He needs to be charged as an adult for his actions.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you he should have gotten a stricter punishment. He should be charged as an adult because he did know what he was doing.
DeleteI think that the boy received a light sentence because he was old enough to realize the consequence of his action. I mean he was endangering peoples lives because he wanted to mimic a movie. Also I strongly believe that the boy should be tried as an adult because he is 17 and needs to face his consequence.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that he was sanctioned correctly,but I think that he should have been charged with resisting arrest,and fleeing the crime scene. In my opinion I don't think that he should be trialed as an adult,because it sounds like they really didn't expect this to become a serious accident. I know that some may say well they should know the law they had to learn it before they got their license, and this is true but at the same time. If we just trial them as an adult then they may get years in prison ,and then they wont really get any positive influence. So when they get out they might end up doing more than we intended in the beginning. So no we should keep those charges and add the resisting arrest,and ect and suspend their license, and make them take the driving class for a certain amount of time.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I believe the teenager, Schlegal, did not receive a light sentence because the crimes he was charged with was exactly the ones he commited. Although the time or fine he will receive is unknown, I believe that those charges are perfect for what he did nor too light or too harsh. However, I do not think he should be charged as an adult whatsoever because he is still a teenager, so his actions we probably a reaction from panicking. There have been many other cases where the crimes have been much worse, and they are still charged as juveniles, therefore, I repeat my opinion in that he should not be charged as an adult.
ReplyDeleteI think it’s not fair what going to happen to him because he was responsible for getting after the wheel he should be responsible for the damages he has caused. It shouldn’t matter if they are having "fun" someone they don’t know could have gotten seriously hurt. He should have not fled the scene and should have been responsible enough to face any consequences because of his reckless driving. I think they should charge him as an adult because of his reckless driving and from fleeing from the cops he acted like an adult so he should get charged as an adult.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Tyler received the right punishment. Luckily, no one died because of the incident. I don't think they should be charged as adults because they didn't commit any serious crime. They were just trying to have fun even though it is a bad idea.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Giovanni Lopez because tyler is very very lucky that no body was killed. If someone was killed I think it should have been his fault and charged with murder
DeleteI agree with you Giovanni, Tyler received the right punishment. No one died, so Tyler shouldn't be charged as an adult. If someone was killed, then I think that he should be charged as an adult for murder.
Delete1.I believe that the suspect was charged with a very good because he really didn't do much.
ReplyDelete2.As far as being charged as an adult I think that the crimes he has done don't fit the sentence of an adult, but as far as him resisting arrest, he should maybe be charged just a little bit more
I agree with you Steven, it wasn't much, but at least he was charged. Also, I agree with you on the fact that he shouldn't be charged as an adult. The crime doesn't fit the sentence of an adult.
DeleteFor question 1, I believe that Tyler punishment was right. No one died. For question 2, I believe that they shouldn't be charged as an adult. They're just teens that were racing trying to have fun. I think that the crime shouldn't fit to be charged as an adult.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I believe that Schlegal received a fair sentenced based off of the crime that he committed. No one should race at high speed because they endanger the lives of others and themselves. Just because they do it in a movie doesn’t mean that everything is 100% true. Luckily Schlegal just crashed with an electricity box and a pole because if it would have been another car or civilian could have been killed. He didn’t just cause an accident but he also tried fleeing the scene and tried evading arrest after he knew he had done wrong. He should be charged as in adult because a “minor” usually never knows what they are doing buy Schlegal was completely conscious what he was doing, and even though evading arrest is a misdemeanor he should be charged as an adult.
ReplyDeleteThis is a test from Mrs. Silha
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion Schlegal recieved the right sentencing. Simply because he is 17, a young inmature teenager that hasnt yet grown up. He let a movie like that influence him to do the wrong choice. So I think it was the right sentecing for him because he is young and he will learn his lesson on those few amount of years of jail time. Last but not least i dont think the the court system should trial him as an adult because his brain is not fully developt yet, he still thinks like a child and let a silly movie like that influence. So the court system shouldnt trial him as an adult.
