I wouldnt be totally opposed to it being a consideration in a reduced sentence provided two things happen:

1) the culprit is forced into a mandatory, in-patient, mental rehabilition program for no shorter than the length of what would have been a jail sentence

2) recognizing that the parents had crippled this person to the point that they are incapable of holding themselves accountable (because thats part of the affluenza argument, after all), hold them criminally liable.

But I doubt either of those would happen so...

that sounds fair, well except the parents being held criminally liable. just make them financially liable

Only if it works the other way as well and the courts grant leniency in the face of poverty-driven desperation.

this comment made me happy. thank you
