If it's just a dysfunctional relationship between a 31 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: mother and her adult son, that is there problem. But 32 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: when you bring in four dead bodies and one person 33 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: paralyzed for life, that's my problem and it should be 34 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: your problem too. If you plan on driving on an 35 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 1: open road with this woman on the loose, I don't 36 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 1: understand it. Joining me right now. Defense attorney Renee Rockwell 37 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: also with me. Were now psychologist out of New York, 38 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: Karen Stark, I don't get it with me, also Alan 39 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: Duke joining me from l A. Alan. The Star Telegram 40 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: reporting prosecutors filed an amended motion a follow up to 41 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: a previous motion where this mom is found in possession 42 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: of alcohol. Now she's got a gun. I never understood 43 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: how she got out of jail to start with, after 44 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: leading her son to evade the law to go on 45 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: the run to Mexico. Keep in mind, she is a bartender, 46 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: and she's not allowed to drink while she's out of 47 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: jail or have a gun. Of course that's routine. But yeah, 48 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: I mean this case from the big ask you something, 49 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: what difference does it make to me that she's a 50 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: bartender a different rule that applies to bartenders. No, In fact, 51 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: that was the point I'm making. Even though she's around 52 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: she can be around alcohol, she can't drink it. This 53 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: is obviously a mother. That's just totally bass Ackwards care 54 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: and stark. I mean, that's just like given a pyro 55 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: a match and say scratch. This is why why is 56 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: she working in a bar? But I guess the law 57 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: can't stop you from making a living, no matter how 58 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: you're going to do it. Although it doesn't make sense 59 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: that they agree to it, because saying that she's not 60 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: allowed to drink, but she could have this job. That 61 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: that really is, as you said, Nancy, it's it's putting 62 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: an addict. Help me out, Renee Rockwell, you're the defense attorney. 63 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: How are you going to dig her out of this one? Renee? Nancy? 64 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: She's innocent until she's proven guilty, and if she's violated 65 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: any conditions of her bond that they will be addressed. 66 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: My concerned is that, why are we talking about the 67 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: mom and not the child. I'm talking about both of them. 68 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: I just started with her because she's got a gun. 69 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: He's in jail, and I want her to be in jail. 70 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: I think she wants to be in jail also, Nancy, 71 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: because she's doing things to make sure that she winds 72 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: up in jail. You know, Renee, you know something I 73 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: respect about you. You It's like a wind up toy. 74 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: No matter what I say, no matter what happens, you 75 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: always started with, UH, they're innocent until proven guilty. Okay. 76 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: We all know that. We know that I and there 77 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: you go. Okay, we know that thank you for the 78 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: reality check, and that her issues will be addressed in court. Yep, 79 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: we know that. What I don't get is the flagrant 80 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: the flagrant desire to avoid the law, to trick the law. 81 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: I don't get it. I mean that's what landed her 82 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: son behind bars to start with. I mean, this guy, 83 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: this kid, if you had, Renee, can I tell you something, Karen, 84 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: You're gonna love this. I've been doing a lot of 85 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: research into Ethan Couch is so called affluence a team. 86 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: Guess what I found out. So he is not an idiot, Okay, 87 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: fairly smart. They sent him to some private school for 88 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: special kids, and the head mistress of the school said 89 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: he was very, very smart. I'll recount one episode to you, Renee. 90 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: You'll love this, Karen, You'll see straight through it. Alan 91 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: will probably say something like she's a bartender after I 92 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: finished this story. But catch this. When he is a kid, 93 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: like thirteen, he drives his dad's luxury vehicle to school. 94 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: It's like twelve or thirteen years old. And when the 95 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: head mistress tracks down the dad and says, your son 96 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: is whatever, twelve and he drove your let's just say 97 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: Cadillac to school today, the dad said, yeah, he's probably 98 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: the best driver in the family. I mean, it's like 99 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: he didn't even get it if you know true. I 100 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: have taught the twins side a drive down in my 101 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: hometown of Macon, Georgia in a field. Okay, yes, they're nine, 102 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: but that was just once. Okay, so they've not been 103 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: out on the open road driving the car. And the 104 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: father's response is, yeah, he's the best driver in the family. 105 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: Dad's how this whole thing started. Can somebody help. It's 106 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: not the child's fault. I'm gonna have to hit my tea. 107 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: I can't take it. Go ahead, it's not the dad's fault. Okay, fine, 108 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: child's fault. It's not a child. He's like, how old 109 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: is he now, Karen? The guy is has facial hair 110 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: and armpit hair. He's no longer a child. Okay, it's 111 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: not a child. I think I think. I think Rene's 112 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: talk of that when he drove to school and he 113 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: was in his father's cart. Okay, I'll give you that. 114 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: That's not his fault. But let's just fast forward to 115 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: now in the dead bodies. So that's just an example 116 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: of how he has been raised. And yeah, it wasn't 117 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: It worked with some idiot judge, it worked, okay, And 118 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: now what do we do? Now? What's gonna happen Renee. Alright, 119 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: so rehab. Maybe it was all done in the closed hearing, 120 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: I understand, for an unspecified amount of time, perhaps a 121 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: little bit of down time, out time for the kid time. Okay, 122 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: he's not a kid anymore, so you quit trying that 123 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: on me. But I'm talking about the mother. The mother. 124 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: I want this woman in jail. She's got a gun 125 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: and is drinking. After all the pain she and her 126 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: son have caused. You know how they got caught, Karen 127 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: the two adge. It's after they flee to Mexico and 128 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: their five star resort, spending to thousand dollars at a 129 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: strip club in one night. Okay, according to reports, I 130 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: wasn't there. I didn't stuff the garter belts, thank god, 131 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: two thousand dollars. This is how they get caught. The 132 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: Edges order a pizza on their cell phone, which of course, 133 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: is being tracked by the FBI. I mean, right there, 134 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: that should be a felony. But okay, so now shed 135 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: taking your son to a strip club. That's interesting. Helping 136 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: him free the country, it's more than interesting. Um, he 137 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: gets straight probation from some judge later, after all, it 138 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: all hits the the news. He was finally revoked and 139 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: got two years. Okay, Uh, the affluenza teen dad was 140 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: convicted for pretending to be a police officer. And these 141 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: are millionaires. It's not like they never had an education, 142 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: and they don't know any better, Karen. But they don't care, Nancy. 143 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: They really they really enjoy flaunting the law, but not 144 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: even that. They like um showing that they are greater, 145 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: that they could be a police person, a policeman themselves. 146 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: That and they have no boundaries whatsoever. So she could 147 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: go with her son to a strip club and they 148 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: don't have any common sense when it comes to ordering 149 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: a pizza when they know they're on the land. So 150 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: what's gonna She's been brought into court and she's facing 151 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: two charges. One is a money laundering which I'm not 152 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: quite sure how they're getting a money laundering charge, but 153 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: also hindering. Uh, they arrest of a fugitive. So she's 154 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: looking at those two now, Rene, Why is it always 155 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: that a felon a charge felon one of their conditions 156 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: of UM bail is they can't have a weapon. Cannot 157 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: have a weapon, explain, Marcy. You don't see that charge 158 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: very often in state courts. What it is a federal charge. 159 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: You can be charged federally. It's against the law even 160 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: to have ammunition without the guns when you're on bail. Obviously, um, 161 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: Fulton County, you know, didn't prosecute that. I've never seen 162 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: that prosecuted in in state court at all. Prosecute what 163 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying of a condition of bond, well, I mean, 164 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: because it's against the law. It's against the federal law 165 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: to be free on bail and have a weapon. I 166 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: mean I've seen that used as a trigger to revoke 167 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: bond many, many times, not necessarily. No grubs, no alcohol, 168 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: no weapon. Yeah. Yeah. So at trial, a psychologist blamed 169 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: quote Affluenza acting irresponsibly due to the overt wealth of 170 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: his parents for his actions. He and his mom flee 171 00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: to Mexico after video surfaces apparently showing him at a 172 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: party with alcohol playing what looked to me like beer pong. Okay, 173 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: Alan weigh in, you want to explain to everybody what's 174 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: beer pong. I'm not very good at it, so okay, 175 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you any good tips. But beer pong 176 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: is basically where you drink a lot of beer and 177 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: you've got this right, this ping pong ball that you 178 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: that you throw and it determines how you drink it. 179 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: Not an expert on that. I didn't get into all 180 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: of that when I was younger. But it is a 181 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: drunken game. That's what we call a drunken game. Sounds 182 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: like a big drunk to me, Renee, to quote your 183 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: mema from the Bayou. Um. So, so now what do 184 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,839 Speaker 1: we do with mommy? Excuse me? That's my me Ma 185 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: and your mommy. All right, I gotta get that straight, 186 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: you know, Renee, give me one good reason why mommy 187 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: shouldn't go to jail with her son, just one. I 188 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: think ultimately she's gonna be um not dealt with. And 189 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: because of the mere publicity, Nancy, it makes judges treat 190 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: defendants a bit differently. So I think that that whatever 191 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: judges in charge of her being out in or out 192 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: is going to handle this a bit differently because of 193 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: the publicity in her bond will probably be revoked and 194 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: she sits to she works the case out down. If 195 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: she's without record, then it might be a straight probation case. 196 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: Why do you always somehow managed to work in the 197 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: words straight probation no matter? Because it's what the offense 198 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: is a dead bodies. You know, they didn't just order pizza. 199 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: They ordered Domino's pizza. I mean Domino's is like NASA. 200 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: They know where you live, they know what blog, they 201 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: know your secret code to your alarm. They know it 202 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: all because they've been leaving pizza as your place forever. 203 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: They got all your information stored Domino's Pizza, I mean, right. 204 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: An other thing, Karen Start explained to me the whole 205 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: theory behind the defense of affluenza. Affluenza. Well, I want 206 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: to I want to say that I don't agree with this, Nancy, 207 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 1: but what they said you do, Okay? He didn't. He 208 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: didn't know the difference between right and wrong because he 209 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: was raised in a situation where he had all of 210 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: this affluence and could do whatever he wanted. The truth 211 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: of the matter is he had parents who did not 212 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: model right or wrong and who allowed him to do 213 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: whatever he really wanted. So what they were saying in essences, 214 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: he was a spoiled kid with no boundaries and could 215 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: do whatever he desired to do. And if anything, it 216 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: sounds like they thought it was amusing Tanya the mother. 217 00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: Tanya Couch was free on seventy dollars bond I after 218 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: she was charged with fleeing to Mexico with her son. 219 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: They withdrew thirty thousand dollars from a bank. He dodged 220 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: his own probation appointment. That's kind of a tip off 221 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: that you're not around when you don't show up at 222 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: your probation officer. They dye his hair and mustache black 223 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: and go on the run. Get across the Mexican border 224 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: to Mexico, live it up in a resort, blow thousands 225 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: of dollars at a strip club that's neither here nor there. 226 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: I don't can't say I approve of it, but it's 227 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: certainly not a crime unless it's got crime scene tape 228 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: around it. I don't care about it, So go to 229 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: whatever strip club you want. Wasn't he under age at 230 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: the time? Oh yes, thank you for reminding me that. 231 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: What about that renee under age in Mexico? Okay, okay, 232 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: good point, good point. Okay, you got me over the 233 00:15:55,560 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: barrel on that one ago. You know what, I'm laughing 234 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: this morning. But you know what will sober me up 235 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: pretty fast. You know what will sober me up pretty fast. 236 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: It's when I think about those four dead bodies. This 237 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: is how it went down. Want the girl, the young lady, 238 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: had gotten a flat or had car trouble. She gets 239 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: her mother out there. That that'd be like the three 240 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: of us out trying to change a flat tire on 241 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: the side of the road. Okay, you can just see 242 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: that going is good at that I can, I can 243 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: take all four off at the same time. Given another 244 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: she could get one of her dopers to show up 245 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: and her souped up escalade and take us and get 246 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: us out of there. Forget about triple a um Nancy 247 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: and I will will hold up the car. I walk, 248 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: thank you very much. So these are these two are 249 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: on the side of the road. Up comes a youth 250 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: minister tries to help them. Then we've got another person 251 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: out there trying to help them. Then here comes ethan 252 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: cat doped up drinking and is souped up. Four will 253 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: and that that was it. Everybody's dead. One person permanently paralyzed. 254 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: All they can do is move their eyes and he 255 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: gets straight probation. Then the video emerges of him apparently 256 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: playing beer polling ever by screaming and laughing and drinking 257 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: while he's out on probation, I mean straight probation for this. 258 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: The PR goes berserk and mommy dyes his hair and 259 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: they sneak across the border and live the good life 260 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: in Mexico till the faithful Domino's order. Now, mommy who 261 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: gets out on bond again as caught with a gun 262 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: and possession of alcohol. There you have it.
