It is really awful. I'm deeply concerned for the girl's mom. I don't think anyone would want to be in her shoes. Such a nonsense accident.

I honestly don't believe that the girl responsible for the prank should be charged for murder. That is simply ridiculous to even think of. The fact of the matter is, even a grown person wouldn't think of a paperclip hitting another persons head as fatal, even at terminal velocity. If a paperclip caused a her death, then that poor girl didn't have a chance in the world at survival of more normal things like falling off the monkey bars or even a car accident.
It's just a terrible situation in the midst of a seemingly normal classroom activity. Perhaps the seizure was caused by the victim's emotional reaction to being "picked on" and the paperclip was the icing on the cake that caused a flare up.
