On tonight’s new episode of “One Bad Choice,” we met Levi Sparks, an Indiana teen whose life changed in an instant when his friends decided to break into a stranger’s house. They thought the house was empty, but they were wrong.
When the homeowner shot and killed one of Levi’s friends, saying it was self-defense, it was the burglarizing teens (and Levi, who stayed behind on a porch across the street) who were charged with murder.
This comes from a controversial Indiana law that claims those committing certain felonies (in this case burglary) can be convicted of murderif anyone is killed during the incident.
The teens are now more than willing to admit it was a bad idea to have gone into that house and scared the homeowner, but activists on their behalf feel the wrong charges have been filed. So why did the teens feel breaking and entering was a good idea in the first place? It turns out it might have to do with science.
