In a chilling tale of wealth, privilege, and tragedy, a 16-year-old boy's decision to drive drunk leads to devastating consequences. Allison not only explores the night of horror that unfolded in Burleson, Texas, but she also delves into the controversial legal defense of "affluenza" - a term that would spark a national debate on justice and accountability. Discover how one fateful night forever altered the lives of many, raising questions about the role of privilege in our legal system. Will justice prevail, or will wealth pave the way for leniency? Listen to uncover the full story.

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. Welcome back to another episode with the Crime and Coffee Couple. My name's |
| 0:07.7 | Allison. And my name's Mike. Hi, Mike. Hey, Elle. How are you, Bev? I'm doing pretty good. How are you doing? |
| 0:12.7 | Good, good. You got a little haircut. If you're watching on a video, you can see Allison got her hair shorter. |
| 0:16.5 | Yes, I did. Definitely, I'm going for that short hair style look, Karen cut, I believe they call it. |
| 0:22.2 | Yeah, I went to my stylist and she's like, what can I do for you today? I was like, the Karen cut, please. |
| 0:26.9 | Yeah, she goes to Great Clips now, so that's the best they could do. And nothing wrong, nothing wrong with going to Great Clips. Nothing wrong if you do that. |
| 0:33.5 | I actually have back in the day gone to great clips. Well, just to see if it, you know, |
| 0:38.0 | is something close because it's like, what do you have, where you paint now, a mortgage, basically, |
| 0:42.2 | versus 15 or 30. I don't know how much they charge for a female haircut. I was going to say |
| 0:47.2 | Borricks. Is Bowricks even around? Is that like a Midwest thing? But, but,. Do you remember that? Yes. My brother used to go to Boericks. I did too. I remember |
| 0:55.4 | in the window. It's at $8 for haircut. Yeah. Well, that's what Mike expects my haircut to cost |
| 1:00.2 | $8. Well, it could be like 20, but like it doesn't have to be eight. Okay. Yeah. I'm sure there's a lot |

| 1:15.6 | So how's everything else going? Oh, let's see. I'm pretty good. I just got back from Costco with our daughter and had a good time and I'm happy to report. Usually I go to Costco to get a couple |
| 1:20.7 | dinner items for the week so we don't have to cook because Allison's like constantly researching or |
| 1:24.6 | doing her like other job or whatever so uh just makes it easier on |
