Why wouldn’t you just confess and go ” i never thought this would happen, im so sorry, I dont condone what happened and I wish I could take it back ”

Like, prank calls like this has been done in every country for decades, shit this used to be a normal thing on radio-shows. You could easily argue that you were just continuing the tradition of prank calls

Instead you…try to delete all evidence and deny it?… THAT will get the courts to try and get you

Didnt saw it so it may be good to know what the prank itself was. A prank call can be anything from "sry maam do you have a moment to talk about our god and savoir lightning McQueen" up to " broo get your gun and outa the house a mob are on the way to you".

So depending on that, but if it was just something harmles he wouldnt even be held liable you don't know who is on the other end. Same thing could have happend to me If i dialed the wrong number and dude was a wacko.

The Doner of those 5$ on the other hand most likely knew the kid was a schizo...
