Nex Benedict took his own life the day after an attack in a school toilet. A medical examiner ruled the death a suicide a week ago.
The responsible district attorney, Steve Kunzweiler, has now announced that he will not file charges in the case. The death of Nex Benedict was “a tragedy,” but no crime was committed, the prosecutor says. The lawyer for Benedict's family said he did not expect the family to comment on the prosecutor's decision Thursday.
