"Outcry as Oklahoma DA Declines to Charge in Nex Benedict's Death"

TL;DR Summary
LGBTQ advocacy groups criticize Tulsa County District Attorney's decision not to press charges in the case of Nex Benedict, an Oklahoma high school student who died after a fight in the girls' bathroom. The district attorney cited the medical examiner's report attributing Benedict's death to suicide, but LGBTQ groups argue that key information about the case remains unknown and that the decision fails to hold perpetrators accountable for violent behavior. They also call for investigations into the school district and state education department, alleging a culture of bullying and harassment against transgender and gender non-conforming individuals.
