I don't disagree. I'm just saying it looked like he could be well off given the factors I mentioned. I'll be the first to say I could be wrong.

Or, may be it really is a fine family with strong morals. I know that if it were my folks, given the story that's been reported so far, I'd be cooling my heels in the county lockup...Crips, Bloods, Banditos, Mara Salvatrucha, The Brand and all. Money or not, all the kids in my family learn early on that no one will bail them out for felony stupidity, let alone first-degree or felony murder.

OK, now I really think there is a possibility of felony stupid by a rich kid....

"We don't know what all the facts are yet, but this is a terrible tragedy for two families," DeGuerin said. "I don't want to minimize what happened to the deceased and his family, but this is a fine family and they are going through their own tragedy."

How does DeGuerin know it's a "fine" family? Or does that just translate to RICH? And what does that have to do with the crime for which his client has been accused? Robert Durst was from a "fine" family too...Doesn't change the fact Durst killed someone, proceeded to chop the body up into pieces, then dispose of it in Galveston bay to cover up the incident. Oh wait, Durst walked didn't he?...Yup, another "fine" family. Please disregard...My blood sugar must be getting low or something.

May be this guy does have significant funds available. His bail is only $50k, which would seem to indicate a low flight risk. Last I checked, DeGuerin's criminal defense services weren't cheap. And another indicator, to me at least, is the widow of the deceased has already filled a wrongful death suit.
