fields, so to speak, it s not a different defense. this is just something that s cute that the media catches on to, just like the twinkie defense. all this is is a way to characterize what the kid s problem is, that the kid has never had any consequences. and he still doesn t have any. and still sunny, if you let me finish, i ll get there. you ve been talking for awhile, a long time and saying the same thing over and over again, mark. which really doesn t make sense. you re saying, in a sense, that this is just, that this kid kills four people and gets away with it. i didn t say it was just. i told you you re not going to get justice in the halls of justice. this system is designed to make sure in the halls of justice there are no consequences what about this is sending a terrible message to other kids that suffer from affluenza and kids that suffer from poorenza that there is this inequality. and you can get away with murder and you re wrong! sunny, you s
the judgment area may not be fully developed. also the area responsible for emotion and sometimes rational emotion, that is fully developed. you have ta combination now. fueled emotion with less inhibition and, wonder if that could potentially play a role. obviously, none of us are excusing what they did. we re just trying to understand this unmitigated evil. you can imagine that the next step to this sort of science is for defense attorneys to grab on to it. the twinkie defense from decades back, people blaming their brain, genetics for a crime they ve committed. is there any potential problem with that? do you see that possibly happening? this is an emernling science with regard to what we re talking about specifically. let me tell you what people talk about within the field. take something like fetal alcohol syndrome, for example. the child, who is in utero the mother is drinking and the child
necessarily men that i agree. i think it s women who may be harder. i think all of a sudden you show women are harder on women. but there is a developing sense, even in the beginning when she was on direct, that women were starting to say, i kind of understand you start to see that out there. i mean, her story is she feared for her life and that s basically why she killed this guy. we haven t heard much about that. remember years ago with the murder out in california, with the twinkie defense, and people said this is so outrageous. it s the vehicle to get in the testimony, so that the person gets some kind of empathy, sympathy or resonates with a jury. it must be. because it certainly doesn t sound like self-defense. right. that all this evidence about their sex life, how that relates to the issue of self-defense is pretty much lost on me. i think it s just generally designed to paint a picture that might generate some sympathy. i think they ought to get her

i think there are women who can understand or at least appreciate what she is talking about. i actually would draw the opposite conclusion. i think it is possible that some jurors might have sympathy. women jurors are often very tough on women particularly in rape cases. i don t think it is necessarily men i agree. i think that s why they dressed her down and frumped her up. women are harder on women. there is a developing sense even in the beginning when she was on direct that women were starting to say i kind of understand that. you start to see that. her story is that she feared for her life and that is why she killed this guy. we haven t heard much about that fear. remember years ago with the murder out in california with the twinkie defense that people said was outrageous. it is the vehicle to get in the testimony so that the person gets some kind of empathy,
