And she got compensation.
She didn't get $40 million, but $10 million is a good judgment if she can collect it from insurance and so forth.
But you asked a question about the case.
Before we get to it, I want to play SOT4 because we want to see how the judge dismissed the charges, and then we'll talk about it on the other side.
Ashley, you had asked me a question about, as a prosecutor, how tough is it to prosecute someone other than the parents
for child neglect when you have a child who's not your child come to School of the Gun.
And we have tried this now multiple times, and each time it has failed.
You've seen it, Scott Peterson, in the Marjory Stelman Douglas case.
He was the school law enforcement, the resource officer, who did not run into the building.
They charged him with criminal child neglect, but they said, you know, it's weird.
You're charging a cop for child neglect.
And it's not really the right charge, child abuse.
You have to have some sort of duty of being a parent or to actually be convicted of such a charge.
And we've seen parents, like the parent in this case.
So he was acquitted.
He was found not guilty.
Now, you also saw in Uvalde, Texas, similar charges.
And there, too.
You saw a not guilty verdict.
And so here, I'm not that surprised that, again, you see a judge say, not only are we not going to let this go to a jury, we're going to end it right now.
