A lot of minors get away with adult crimes simply because how our laws are written. If it were up to me I'd charge them as adults. Not because they were in a group (that won't fly in court) but because they made a collective decision to either proceed with the action of dropping the ball onto a moving vehicle or did nothing about it once the action occured. Anyway, at 17 years of age (with at least an average IQ) they are capable enough to know right from wrong.
