Kid gets 4 years probation for killing 4 people because lawyers argued he was too rich to understand the consequences for his actions. A teenager in Fort Worth, Texas was given probation after driving drunk and killing four pedestrians. Prosecutors pushed for a jail sentence of 20 years for 16-year-old Ethan Couch, whose blood alcohol content at the time of the accident was 0.24 - three times the legal limit for someone of drinking age - and also contained traces of Valium. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/jV0qoq8JoNM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
A life sentence behind bars for this killer would be justice. The victims' families will be serving a life sentence of pain, loss and suffering that will never end. It's only fair that this killer serve a life sentence alongside theirs. Drunk driving fatalities are NOT an accident. People choose to drink. People choose to get drunk. People choose to get behind the wheel of a car. There's nothing accidental about it.
Helps to have money in our totally corrupt legal system. If I was the father, husband, brother of the deceased, I'd have to kill the kid. My defense would be anti stupid fucking judge., the not giving a fuck what your stupid fucking law says. Would probably have to off the judge and defense attorney as well.
If this idiot judge agreed with the defense that the parents are to blame. Why aren't the parents going to prison in their sons place?
Oooh, bad story. Soon Odumbo will want to take away all successful peoples' money and distribute it to the parasites.... America needs to rid itself of "affluenza", you know.
Very sad story. This sentence is beyond lenient. I guess somebody knew somebody to help with such outcome.
