Charges Upgraded In Death Of Former State Representative

{Williamsburg, Kentucky}...Two juveniles charged in the death of former state Representative Dewayne Bunch pleaded guilty Tuesday, and, while the charges against the two were upgraded from assault to reckless homicide,  they will not serve any additional time in jail. Regina Bunch, the widow of DeWayne Bunch, says she understood the two spent less than 90 days in a juvenile detention facility after they were initially accused of injuring her husband, and although she didn't want the boys responsible for her husband's death to spend life in prison, she believes they should serve more time. DeWayne Bunch died on July 11th after being injured in April 2011 while trying to break up a fight at Whitley County High School, where he was a teacher.
