And, you know, interestingly, you have to think about where do they get most of their information about the details of this plan, right? And it's from both Jaslyn Smith and Christy Parisian. But again, you could not use those statements in court against Clemens, right? Not unless there's a deal made with these young women and they take the stand.

So really, this case is going to come down unless those plans and those deals are put into place. It's going to be a circumstantial case with proof by the video that can corroborate these accounts immediately. If they make the deal and take the stand, you know, those statements alone, as we know, in court can't be used against accomplices.

So we're not going to get too deep into the laws about ages and juveniles and minors because, honestly, it is such a deep dive that we would be here for the next hour. There's a lot of legalese involved. But, you know, basically in Florida, at last reading, at 16 or 17, you can definitely be charged as an adult, but only certain cases, right?

Murder, kidnapping, assault, manslaughter, carjacking, and other violent offenses. But the reason for all these laws is that people realize that younger people do not have the same rights mindset and life experience, and also should sometimes be given those other chances and given lighter sentences, except obviously in the most serious of crimes.

And the reality is, as we know, is that the reason that these nuances, these age factors make such a difference, whether you're in juvenile court or adult court, is the sentencing. If they are charged as juveniles, they could face a maximum of only 36 months.

That's three years for these crimes in a juvenile detention center, where obviously there are much longer prison sentences if convicted at trial or plead guilty. So there's a lot to go into it. But here, as to your point, Scott— I mean, these three peoples clearly seemed to know right and wrong and showed little remorse.

In the end, all three suspects decided to plead guilty and not go to trial, also avoiding the most severe penalty if they had.
