Two Teens Cleared in Plot to Kill Teacher
Two middle-school students accused of plotting a Columbine-style killing spree were found guilty in Winder of making terrorist threats but cleared of the more serious charge of conspiring to kill a teacher.
The two 14-year-olds hugged their parents and each other after Juvenile Court Judge Kevin Guidry found them guilty of three counts each of making the threats.
The boys, identified only as Adam and Joseph, had been charged with conspiracy to commit murder at their rural school about 50 miles northeast of Atlanta.
