He may be legally insane. He may not be. But he's an adult standing trial for killing his father for cutting his allowance. He grew up in a rich family, son of a hedge fund executive, but spent his days just hanging out and surfing in the Hamptons and not working, and taking $1,000 a week in allowance. When they cut it to $300, the prosecutors say, he murdered his father. The defense says he's mentally ill, but the judge ruled he can stand trial, and it raises questions about that and about privilege and entitlement. (New York Times)
