The verdict, delivered after just four hours of jury deliberation, has sent shockwaves through the creator community and reignited discussions about accountability in the often-dangerous world of viral stunts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The defendant, 24-year-old Kyle Morrison, had been facing up to five years in prison after a video prank went catastrophically wrong. According to court testimony, Morrison and his friends had staged a fake \u201chome invasion\u201d as a scare tactic for influencer Jake \u201cJax\u201d Thompson, who was livestreaming from an Airbnb rental. However, the plan unraveled when Thompson, genuinely fearing for his life, attempted to escape through a second-story window. He fell, fracturing his spine and suffering a traumatic brain injury that has left him with permanent mobility issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the trial, Morrison\u2019s defense hinged on the argument of intent versus negligence. \u201cThis was a tragic accident,\u201d his attorney stated in closing arguments. \u201cIt was never Mr. Morrison\u2019s intent to cause bodily harm. It was a poorly planned prank, not a criminal act.\u201d The defense successfully argued that while the stunt was in poor taste, it lacked the malice required for a criminal conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prosecution, however, painted a different picture, accusing Morrison of \u201cgross recklessness\u201d for the sake of engagement. They argued that the need for \u201cgood content\u201d had overridden basic human decency, leading to a predictable and preventable disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the emotional testimony, the jury sided with the defense. As Morrison was acquitted, he expressed relief but avoided the media, stating only that he was &#8220;heartbroken&#8221; over his friend&#8217;s condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the full, unedited bodycam footage of the arrest and the controversial livestream itself, please check the link in the first comment below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/duye.it.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-82-576x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7956\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duye.it.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-82-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/duye.it.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-82-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/duye.it.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-82.png 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prank Goes Too Far: Man Found Not Guilty After Influencer Suffers Severe Injuries In a case that has sparked intense debate about the boundaries of online content creation, a Florida &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7956,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/duye.it.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/duye.it.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/duye.it.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duye.it.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duye.it.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7955"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/duye.it.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7957,"href":"https:\/\/duye.it.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7955\/revisions\/7957"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duye.it.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/duye.it.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duye.it.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duye.it.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
