a prosecution that she fucked up.

The last part to develop is the prefrontal cortex - the part of the brain that, as we age, makes as think "Whoa - that would be a really dumb thing to do."

It's like the car insurance companies always knew this. Age twenty-five is when rates take a dive.

for the rest of our lives.

Most of the car jacking and stealing are done by teens. A dealer of Hyundai and Kia recently had the police finding many vehicles damaged and others running unoccupied perhaps stolen.

A recent Airbnb had a party when an 18 year old "found himself holding a gun" that discharged and killed another teen. And a car stopped for traffic had "two juveniles" running, "discarding handguns.".

All this in the suburbs.

Let them stand trial and let their defense attorney claim that their "immature brains" are to blame.

This is how the Republicans win elections.

I replied with what science is telling us.

Whether that gets used as defense is up to the attorneys and the circunstances of the crime. I'm glad I don't have to make those decisions.

Surprising absolutely no one, I'm sure.
