Clark says Cole tried in vain to administer CPR when Josh stopped breathing.
But he never called for help, and when Blevins came home, told her the boy

was injured.

degree murder because Joshua's death was not premeditated. But the prosecutor
said high or not, Cole pushed Josh intentionally. The judge certified the
charges against both defendants. It will now be up to the grand jury to decide
