My family is in the midst of a case of "affluenza" where a young adult murdered one of my relatives with grossly excessive speed, inattention, and a high-end sports car. It's been dragging on for over half a year, and we haven't even finished the probable cause phase. We'll be lucky to go to trial in a year or more. The wealthy family has hired the sleaziest lawyer I've ever seen in action; he is shameless and has used every delay-and-distract method available; they are trying to kick the can down the road and hope that memories will fail and witnesses will disappear, I think.

I'm retired. I got nuthin' else to do, so I'm determined to help the ones left behind by my relative's untimely death, and I'm going to attend every single court event--even the mindless little ones.
