firearms. for that reason, some of those states in the midwest have some more lax laws. we saw that in wisconsin with the rittenhouse case. they have laws that contemplate minors using firearms under the direction of their parents. it s no surprise that there may not be sufficient firearms legislation. but at the same time, michigan is a state that wants its minors, at least, has chosen to allow its minors to use firearms in order to go hunting with their parents. at least when i was in high school, boys got a week off to go hunting from school. i was the only kid left in school because i don t hunt. but this is a culture and a legislature that is elected to allow its minors to press firearms under certain situations. it s no surprise that the prosecutor here charged around theory of manslaughter for which the path has already been trod by the appeals courts and she knows that if she has the evidence, a conviction is possible for these four counts. which with a 15-year maximum
andrea? that s all fascinating. thanks so very much. and i want to go now to michigan and to shaq brewster, who s out there, because we are expecting an announcement from the prosecutors about action, a possible case charges, i should say, against the parents of that 15-year-old boy who is accused of shooting his classmates. shaq whab do we expect? what do we know so far? reporter: well, andrea, an announcement for that decision could come any moment now. we re still waiting for the prosecutor to take the stage right there or take the podium and address the possible decision over whether or not those charges would be filed against the parents. this is something that she s been signaling really since the day after the shooting, when she said that it was more than just negligence that led to the shooting. yesterday, we heard during a radio interview, she said that the only people who knew that there was a threat and access to the gun did not work at the school. now, while she said
