Probation for teen in suicide pact

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) - A 17-year-old boy charged in an attempted suicide pact with a friend has avoided prison time in Kenosha County.
    
Luke Adcock of Salem was sentenced to two years of probation in an agreement with prosecutors. Adcock was accused of helping a teenage girl try to commit suicide with a knife before attempting to take his own life in December 2011. Both teens are OK.
    
Adcock was initially charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide. He pleaded guilty to attempted assisted suicide and aggravated battery.
    
The Kenosha News says attorneys agreed to probation for Adcock because he was otherwise a "typical teenager," with near-perfect school attendance and an otherwise spotless record. Judge Mary Wagner agreed.
