đł Teen Thief Taunts the Judge, Thinking Heâs Untouchable â Until His Own Mother Stood Up and Shocked the Court đąđą The courtroom murmured as 17-year-old Ryan Cooper strolled in like he owned the place. Sneakers squeaked on polished floors, hoodie slouched, smirk plastered on his face. This wasnât the look of a boy facing serious sentencing for burglaries around his Ohio neighborhood. It was the look of someone who thought he was invincible.
