What better lesson to the rest of the world that actions have consequences: you commit a crime, you do the time.

Maybe i should have posted a little clearer....they're not "old money" or with a lot of political power or anything. The kids are well liked, I'd assume the parents are all friends. Since a lot of parents have that mentality of "if they drink in my basement, they're safe" I'm sure it was probably hard for some of the parents to turn their friend in.
Finally, in response to all the issues over Holz filing a lawsuit...from a legal standpoint I think they do have a case. NOT defending her, just hear me out.
For the school to expel her, they're saying that the school can punish kids off of school property. Following this logic, the school could penalize kids for speeding tickets, etc....and I don't think anyone would let that happen. So why is this different? I totally see expelling them since it would be hard for the juniors to face them in school, all I'm saying is that from a strictly legal standpoint I'd be interested to hear why they can do it.
As far as what she and the others did, how would you not accept the deal??? You're getting your GRADES FREEZED and you're graduating on time.....basically like a 10 day vacation. I know she's filing on a matter of principle "see above" but still.....sounds too good to pass up.
