What's going on?
Thank you so much.
I love that about you.
Thank you.
Appreciate that.
Yes, I have.
It was a case of a 16-year-old kid.
His parents were divorced.
They kind of let him run wild and live in a mansion and booze and have all the fun he wanted to have.
And I guess, I don't know, vehicular manslaughter or something like that.
A couple people got killed.
Yeah, his lawyer's basically saying he had no conscience.
He didn't grow up with boundaries or rules or consequences.
And...
You know, it's not an excuse, but whether, you know, there's different versions of this.
There's a version where you just grow up in the poorest part of town with no dad around and no consequences and no discipline.
And when you're 13, you join your first street gang.
And when you're 16, you shoot your first person.
That's that.
