A teenager has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, admitting that he was responsible for pushing a log off a cliff that struck and killed a photographer in Ohio in the United States. Jaden Churchheus and another teen, Jordan Buckley, both 17-year-olds, were accused of committing the crime in September last year, as per NBC affiliate WCMH on Sept. 16. Buckley is, meanwhile, set to appear in court on Sept. 25 and is expected to enter a plea similar to Churchheus’. Hocking County Common Pleas Court Judge John T. Wallace agreed to stay the sentence and transfer the case to a juvenile court for formal sentencing. They were then charged in the Hocking County Juvenile Court, but the case was transferred to the Hocking County Common Pleas Court so the two could be tried as adults, the report said.
