Prosecutors push to move driver to adult court post-fatal crash.

Hamilton County prosecutors are seeking to have an 18-year-old involved in a fatal crash that resulted in the death of a Hamilton Southeastern football player tried as an adult rather than as a juvenile. The tragic passing of 18-year-old Mason Alexander, a beloved member of the community, has deeply impacted Hamilton Southeastern. Mason, who was a standout football player and had plans to play at the University of Pittsburgh, lost his life in a car accident on March 1. The suspect, who was 17 at the time of the incident but has since turned 18, is accused of reckless homicide. The prosecution alleges that the suspect was driving over the speed limit and attempting a dangerous maneuver before losing control of the vehicle. Mason's relatives and friends are advocating for the suspect to face adult charges, emphasizing the loss of potential caused by the reckless actions that led to Mason's untimely death. The defense argues that the suspect was not under the influence at the time of the crash and poses no threat to society. After the court hearing, Mason's loved ones were disheartened to find parking tickets on their cars, which they interpreted as a symbol of the disregard they feel from the justice system.
