After high school teacher Jason Hughes was tragically killed in a prom prank gone wrong, his family is hoping to be "given great deference" in the district attorney's decision to charge the five teens involved. The Georgia district attorney overseeing the case confirmed that he will be meeting with Hughes' family to discuss the case. "The case is under my personal review. Though we've spoken over the phone, I'll be meeting with the family of Jason Hughes in person early next week," Hall County District Attorney Lee Darraugh said in an email to People on Wednesday, March 11.
