Jayden Ryden Wallace, the high school student charged in the death of his teacher in a prom season prank gone wrong, and his family are speaking out for the first time since the tragedy.

The wife of a Georgia high school teacher who died after what authorities described as a late-night senior prank gone wrong has asked for all charges to be dropped against the students involved.

Eighteen-year-old Jayden Wallace was behind the wheel of a truck that ran over teacher Jason Hughes after he slipped and fell during a prank outside his home in Gainesville, Georgia, on Friday.
