Death penalty wasn't on the table?

No, the prosecution did not seek the death penalty.

My understanding is most of the victims are owed by the law firm - which is why they went bankrupt and no longer exist.

The victims in the boat wreck case (where a young lady died) sued Buster (because it was his license that Paul used to buy the alcohol ), the store that sold the underage person alcohol, and Paul/parents.

After AM was charged Buster inherited part of Maggie's estate and wanted to settle and give it to them - but the store was pushing back because they wanted all to be co-defendants and didn't want Buster to be able to settle independently. Also the law firm and the bank had their hands out to get some of the estate from Buster and thus were holding up the settlement.

Anything that AM did have probably went to his defense. There was a news story about the luxury estate on the water they were renting that cost $20k a week. I assume that cost in addition to their fees.

Interesting how we can judge the entire region by one person wrongdoing. Shall we apply the same judgement to the north culture based on Epstein conviction? And west culture based on Harvey Weinstein's crimes?

I mean the prosecution and witnesses enforced many stereotypes.

Even in closing arguments it was mentioned that AM took the shortest nap in the history of the south. The south was a theme to the entire trial, and it didn't stem from AM's wrongdoings.

You could drill down on those two and find many other commonalities other than region.

Do you not understand what “confirms a stereotype” means?

And having lived in the south, can confirm that this stereotype exists for a reason. Witnessed the “who’s your granddaddy?” privilege first hand. It’s not just one or two families.

The same generational connections exist in NY and Connecticut. Way more than one family as well. If you went to any Boston schools, you would know that.

It would be strange if the prosecutor frame it as the shortest nap in the history of the north, or in the history of Asia, don't you think so?

It was emphasized, to relay that naps in the south are longer than other regions. He didn't have to mention the south at all. But you missed that point.

I wonder how the removed juror would have voted - maybe she was a not guilty

Yes, it is called siesta in Europe and very common in all south regions in Europe as well. What is your point?

Amen, PP. This case--and all the related documentaries about the family--have laid bare for all to see the inner workings of the good ol' boy culture that has always been stacked against poor whites and non-whites. Mind you, the North also has entitled family dynasties (the Trumps come to mind), but this case exemplifies upper-class male privilege on steroids. I hope the families of all his family's victims go after his estate for every penny they can get.

Funny you didn't mention the Kennedys, the most entitled family in U.S. history.

Probably because the Kennedys represent both sides of the coin: Scandals and debauchery, but also public service and charitable works. The Trumps have never given a damn about other people and have contributed nothing of value to this country.
