    Long read, but I thought it was quite interesting, even if you aren't a big basketball fan.

    https://sports.yahoo.com/the-rise-and-fall-of-mikey-williams-145149876.html

    “I’m trying to be worth a billion dollars by the time I’m 25,” teenage basketball star Mikey Williams told the “I am Athlete” podcast just over a year ago.

    At the time, Williams’ goal seemed audacious, if not implausible. Now it’s a jarring reminder of how quickly a celebrated prospect’s dream can unravel. Once a social media sensation who rose to the top of the 2023 class, amassed more than 5 million Instagram and TikTok followers and became one of the early faces of the name, image and likeness era, Williams is now facing a legal fight for his freedom.

      "No direct evidence."

      I will wait for more investigation to turn up more evidence.

      Also curious to see if the 2nd Amendment folks will start yelling "stand your ground" or "casa doctrine."

        18 year old college kid buying a $1.2 Million house in LA. No surprise that didn’t end well.

          Not enough details to make that claim. If they were driving away when he shot up the car, then the Stand Your Ground laws wouldn’t hold water. Besides, do they have STG and Castle Doctrine in LA? I bet no.
