Lorne, I just read a news account claiming the defence introduced psychiatric evidence that the kid suffered from "affluenza". This is supposedly a debilitating condition in which a kid's parents are so rich the young person believes himself immune from consequences. See what a curse being rich can be?
I saw that as well, Mound. I guess it just goes to show that the wealthy have problems that we peons cannot even imagine. I shall count my blessings tonight over being one of the great unwashed.
There's not much you can say about that one. But here's something. What if he'd been black?
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid we both know the answer to that one, Mound.
