Part one of Anderson’s exclusive interview with Dick Miller, psychologist in the center of the “affluenza” case.
A teen YOUNGER than this teen was sent to jail for 10 years for accidentally killing one person – by the same judge.
The teen from this new tragedy illegally drank, illegally drove 70 MPH in a 40 MPH zone, illegally murdered, illegally fled the scene of the crime, yet nobody calls him illegal.
The psychologist is not interested in punishing, he’s interested in helping the teen. He wishes every kid could go to rehab instead of prison.
The wealthy dad is paying for the “vacation punishment” for his son.
