It is stupid to be facing 2 years of jail for this. I doubt they will get anything more than a fine and maybe probation.
Stupid thing to do, but worth all this hoopla-hardly.

I think it has more to do with the fact that the fish was school property and so it's disrepectful to the school and whatnot. I don't think they'd be making such a big deal out of it if they had just taken a fish from a pond somewhere, unless, of course, the pond in question had been private property.
