## Resource

Two college students, Henry Hirsch and Samuel Archer, were given a second chance after accidentally starting a fire at a shopping plaza. Despite initial charges of arson and endangerment, they were offered a deal: stay out of trouble for two years, complete 150 hours of community service, and the charges could be dropped. The prosecutor argued for harsher consequences, but the judge, considering their restitution, good behavior, and public attention, granted them this opportunity.
