College kids are still kids and they are stupid. The fine alone will ride with them and their credit, but don't destroy their ability to make a life in this world by giving them a felony conviction. That just adds to our already uncontrollable justice system.
It's like the five year old charged with sexual harrassment and they were talking about having him register as a sex offender.
Let the punishment fit the crime once we get the complete information.

This is the most likely result, however I have a hard time caring about their futures when 'kids' who don't have the same opportunities face five years in prison for the same offenses.
