Teen who broke six ribs after being pushed off 60-foot bridge wants friend to pay for what she did
The teenager who was pushed off the 60-foot Washington bridge by her friend, causing her to break six ribs and suffer a punctured lung, appeared in court on Tuesday and said that she wants justice. The victim, 16-year-old Jordan Holgerson, said that she was not ready to jump off Washington state's Moulton Falls Bridge on August 7 but her 18-year-old friend, identified as Taylor Smith, pushed her off regardless.
Smith also appeared in Clark County court on Tuesday where she faces one count of reckless endangerment. The teenager appeared nervous as she walked into the Washington courtroom where Holgerson was present too.
Reports state that Smith waived her right to a speedy trial as her lawyers continued to negotiate with prosecutors in the case. She also accepted a trial, which is set to begin on February 11.
