I hope he doesn't die of any kind of overdose, or even die young for any reason. I wish he could "get better," whatever that may be, but I don't have high hopes for that. My main concern is for the five children who depend on having parents who aren't under the influence of illegal drugs and who require parents who won't neglect them.
How neglected WERE those children? The bodycam footage would help answer that question.
Another concern is also over the damage that lawyers (and even former lawyers) like Nick do to the legal system. I'm still blown away that he allegedly accessed Aaron's online files (allegedly including confidential attorney-client communications) for so long.
If that's determined to be true, he should be disbarred.
For someone so clearly out of control, I think incarceration (in a jail or a prison) could be a good thing. At a minimum, the five-year probation sentence will keep the children on the radar of people who, presumably, are not high on nitrous, weed, coke, or any other illegal substance, so that will add a layer of protection for those five children, at least for the next five years.
