You know, it's their poor background,so they can't help it.
You're right. There was a black female lawyer & former prosecutor on Abrams today.. In regard to the Player (Evans) being recharged because of underage drinking at his party (a reintroduction of old charges that had been pleaded) - she said well, they need to take responsibility for their actions and if they aren't held accountable they are just going to do it again.

Just like you said.
