Any thoughts on the guy who coined the term 'affluenza?' I'm thinking he's done your profession a bit of a dis-service...

It was from the trial of a teenager who drove drunk, struck and killed several pedestrians and some of the people riding in his truck. At his trial, a psychologist testified that he couldn't be held accountable for his actions due to the extreme amount of wealth he'd been raised in. Essentially that he was too rich to know right from wrong, he called this illness, 'Affluenza.' I believe the boy was found guilty, but at sentencing given rehab over the jail time he should have had.
