That is, being so rich that you don't know the difference between right and wrong?

No. And if it was real, I motion to impeach the president under the 25th Amendment.

I'd actually be willing to say that it is if there was equal acknowledgment that poorfluenza is also a thing. But that would pretty much shut down our criminal justice system and our moral judgment of lower class criminals, so it'll never happen.

Sure.

Ignorance of the law has never been a satisfactory excuse, though. And frankly neither should this "temporary insanity" crap.

It never was a real thing. That kid's lawyer made it up during the trial as part of his defense, and has said after the fact that he regrets doing so.

affluenza means being so rich and privileged that you can't quite tell the difference between right or wrong

why isn't there a version of that affliction for the poor? surely a rough, low income upbringing could lead to poorly made decisions the same way a rich, privileged one can?

I mean, sure. Spoiled people are probably used to doing as they please with no consequence.

Does Not mean the law should tolerate it.
