Sons Son?

I’m confused. The newspaper keeps referring to Jeremy Sons, the former step son of Bruce Sons. But it has also been reported that his name is Jeremy Toomey, which would make more sense considering he is the former step son of Bruce and most likely wouldn’t share his last name. So which is it?

Whatever you call him, he took the stand yesterday for the first time. Prosecutors have been trying to get this guy to talk for years now although I’m not really sure why. It doesn’t sound like it went well for the prosecution. Jeremy basically said Maxwell started it by slamming his father into the car while yanking his arms behind his back. You can read the whole story here.

This is my favorite part:

“Deputy District Attorney Andrea Kohler asked the judge Wednesday to strike part of Jeremy Sons' testimony on this because he was "non-responsive," meaning he didn't strictly answer her question.
"What does non-responsive mean?" Jeremy Sons asked Kohler.
"I can't answer that," Kohler said.
"Non-responsive," Jeremy Sons said, pointing at the attorney with a smile.”

At least he still has a sense of humor.
