Tulsa County DA Declines to File Charges in Nex Benedict Death

The Tulsa County District Attorney's Office has announced that no charges will be filed in connection with the death of 16-year-old nonbinary Owasso High School student Nex Benedict, whose manner of death was ruled as suicide. The investigation did not find sufficient evidence to support filing juvenile charges in relation to a fight Benedict was involved in at school, and notes written by Benedict appeared to be related to suicide but did not reference the earlier fight or school difficulties. The district attorney stated that the fight was an instance of mutual combat and that the evidence did not support filing charges beyond a reasonable doubt.
