About as clueless and privileged as the kid that basically got away with quadruple murder because wealthy privilege.

He didn’t get away with quadruple murder. His sentence is completely appropriate to the crime: ten years of probation, meaning ten years of checking in with a parole officer, taking drug tests, etc. He is sentenced to psychiatric rehabilitation, which is completely fitting for an out of control teenager.

The tragedy isn’t that that is the sentence he got, the tragedy is that we can’t do the same for every other non-rich kid; this kid’s family can afford the therapy he needs.
