Thing about teenagers, as teenagers we get
in trouble since the beginning of time.
But I think also a lot of that has to do
with too, being able to keep them busy.
Being able to keep them busy,
being able to keep them quote unquote,
I know it's a term that people use
all the time, off the streets.
But that's a thing, to keep them busy,
to keep them active.
So they won't tend to kind of roam around,
get in trouble.
Cuz also you gotta look at,
in handling cases as a former prosecutor,
as a defense attorney,
as a prosecutor in juvenile court,
as a defense attorney in juvenile court.
You also have to understand that even
though you have a lot of smart teenagers,
their decision making
skills haven't matured yet.
So where you may have an adult
that may have made the decision,
well I'm gonna do this crime or
what have you.
Where a teenage mind,
they don't have the development to think
a lot of time about
the consequences of their actions.
And although they may still know
the difference between right and wrong,
obviously.
But as far as the level
of the consequence,
the level of how for example,
how quickly a robbery
can turn into murder just
by the twitch of a finger.
