More Plea Deals In Massachusetts Suicide Bullying Case

The AP (4/28) reports that according to court documents, a total of five teens will "plead guilty to a minor charge in the bullying of a 15-year-old Massachusetts girl who later committed suicide." An unnamed source close to the case said that a judge must approve the deal, the AP adds. "The teens are charged in the bullying of Phoebe Prince, an Irish immigrant who hanged herself in her family's South Hadley apartment last year after what a prosecutor called a 'relentless' campaign of bullying that included yelling 'Irish whore' at her in the school library, posting demeaning comments about her on Facebook and threatening to beat her up."
