So let’s talk about why we are here today.
The defendant before me is a young woman, 23 years old.
Her name is Madison Elizabeth Thornton, born March 12th, 2001, currently residing at 1847 Blackstone Boulevard in the east side of Providence.
She is the daughter of Robert Thornton, the CEO of Thornton Industries, one of the largest real estate development companies in Rhode Island with a valuation of over $400 million.
But what matters more than her name or her father’s position is what she did.
