More Info: After an investigation, Douglas determined James D. High didn’t intend to kill David L. Howard, 22, in a wooded area outside Bayview. “I deemed this was an accident in which Mr. High shot his best friend,” Douglas said Thursday. “My heart goes out to both families. I think by making this decision, it will assist with the healing process.” Susan Howard, David’s mother, supported the decision to not prosecute High.

Question: Right decision?
