The Achilles heel for many very rich and powerful people is arrogance.
People who have everything, who want for nothing are just so used to getting their way.
The ones with a little self awareness understand this.
On some level, they surround themselves with advisors who cover for their weaknesses, who protect them by anticipating problems, and when necessary, having the courage to speak up and say things that rich and powerful people generally don't like to hear.
Difficult, incendiary things like you're wrong or that's a bad idea.
But plenty of our richest humans don't do this.
They want what they want and they don't want to be challenged.
God forbid, given bad news, they build gilded echo chambers and surround themselves with sycophants who are paid well to say yes, which tends to create blind spots.
This is what I think when I think about Andrew Ashcroft and Jasmine Hartin.
I think Andrew believed that, at least in Belize, his father's fiefdom, he could do whatever he wanted and that Jasmine, especially on her own, had no recourse.
Maybe it's because he was jealous of her dating other people during this period of adjacent apartment living and truly, honestly hated her.
Or maybe he was embarrassed by the shooting, which happened so soon after the opening of this glorious resort of theirs.
Whatever the reason, it sure seems like he just decided to crush the mother of his children under his heel.
Andrew probably thought that he could get away with it too.
