• Notes

  A teenager suspected of killing another teenager at a street dance last May was in front of a judge today. 19 year old Blake Hemminger is charged with manslaughter in the death of 14 year old Zach Glaesman. Multimedia Both teens were at a party in Orient over the Memorial Day weekend. The fight happened back in May. But the grand jury didn't indict Blake Hemminger until August. Today he was in a Faulk County Courtroom. Blake Hemminger arrived early for court to face a charge of manslaughter. Three months ago on Memorial Day weekend he attended a party at a baseball field in Orient. About five hundred people were there at the time. The Faulk County Sheriff says a fight broke out around 5 a.m. on Sunday and Zach Glaesman was punched. Hemminger is accused of throwing those blows. Ten days later Glaesman was rushed the hospital after saying his head hurt. He later died of meningitis. A judge told Hemminger he is being charged in Glaesman's death. He was assigned an attorney and a trial date was set. 6/4 Zach was found to have a severe case of meningitis 6/5 Zach went into surgery and left with a 5% chance of living. The doctors have done all they can, it is Zach's will and our prayers that are needed to bring him home 6/6 After talkin to Zach's mom, we found out that he is responsive to peoples voices. His heartbeat and blood pressure raise when people he knows are around... but his eyes are completely dialated and unresponsive to darkness and light keep praying and stay strong! 6/7 Zach couldnt be stablized, his blood pressure was uncontrollable. His mom and dad decided to take him off of life support. Pray for his family and stay strong, we will all be reunited someday.
