Why inflict that person out on society?

That would be wrong for them to assist in his defense, I really think, and they understand that.

Nancy is where he should be.

I mean, it's one of the biggest psychiatric facilities on the West Coast because they have so many psych admissions there in tandem with crimes.

You know, Rob and Michelle were very loving, psychologically healthy, growth-promoting parents.

who did anything for their son, Nick.

And he abused that and he did what addicts do to families.

They can take really normal, lovely, delightful parents and just turn them into accommodators.

They wrap the parents around their little finger.

He's not gonna be able to wrap the public defender or the prosecutor or the jail guards or the psychiatrist.

in the facility, he's not gonna be able to wrap any of them around his finger.

And I think that's where the shock is really gonna lie.

His protective layer is now gone as well as it should be.

He does not need anybody protecting him at this point.

There was a pretty big argument between Rob, Michelle, and their son, Nick.
