Parents are the two in the black overcoats. The wife's lawyer is in the white overcoat. So nice of them to color coordinate.

Has a video from today

The dude is wearing a face mask and hat so you can't see him. They walked out with lawyers.

Wow you're really enjoying this. Sick.

For that reason, I doubt they'll do something like this again. They're still awaiting a hearing so who knows what the punishment will be for this incident. But the humiliation of this will follow them around for a while -- as people talk behind their backs, there's a 50+ pg thread on them on DCUM, and every friend and acquaintance from coworkers to parents who don't even know them but see them at preschool will be looking at them extra hard when they're out with their kids to see how they treat them, how their kids interact with them etc. Plus I bet each of them has 3-4 people in their lives (not just family -- but people are work etc) who are blunt -- blunt enough that they have asked or will put them on the spot eventually and ask "so how did this happen. Why did you and DH/DW think this was ok?" All of this "attention" will keep them from doing this kind of thing again, though for the kids' sake I hope they aren't abusers because then they'll just make the kids' lives rough at home outside the public eye. I mean the kids are 2-3, not a lot of impulse control at that age even with the best behaved kids; I hope for the kids' sake that the parents don't hit etc. bc now that they'll avoid the public for a while -- there will be a LOT of time at home esp on weekends when the kids will work their last nerve over normal childlike things and they'll have to deal.

Rich people don't care about gossip, especially if they think that the people gossiping are "low lifes".

Maybe the mom will be prepared with a hoodie and sneakers this time. She'll be able to run away from cameras better if she has the right outfit on.

Plus, she'll blend right in with the usual defendant crowd at DC Super Ct.

At least she'll be at less risk to be assaulted and shot in DC than in Florida.

Does anyone else feel like the extreme facial coverage is just gross cowardice? It's not like we don't know their names.

Man up and walk out like a respectable person prepared to take responsibility for your actions.

I believe they have different lawys.

A PP mentioned you could see the court info on line. Wow. Amazing how even being accused of a crime costs you privacy.
