So let me get this straight, the lawyer’s defence was that his wealth and privilege had conditioned him into thinking his actions had no consequences... so the judge decided that he was wasn’t accountable, thereby proving that his wealth and privilege means his actions have no consequences? 🤔
How do you only serve 2 years for violating a 10 year probation sentence? He should have at least had to serve 80% of that 10 years after the vioalation. Especially considering the circumstances. We have 2 separate justice systems in this country. One for the rich and one for the poor.
Im from Texas ( San Antonio) and Texas has the toughest laws on drunk driving laws involving deaths. So this guy walks??? Did this smell like a payoff or what?
A truck driver hits a bus by accident, killing 0 got 20 years in jail. This guy was drunk driving, high on drugs, drove over twice the speed limit, killed 4 injured 9 including leaving 1 paralysed got 0 jail time.
He has a job now. How does someone with a record like this EVER get a job? His parents really are a piece of work though, I almost think the lawyer had a point.
There was something afoot in the criminal justice system because the initial judge that accepted the affluenza defense and sentenced couch to 10 years probation for killing 4 people. Gave a 10 year sentence to be served inside a juvenile detention center to a14-year-old black kid for punching a guy that fell to hit his head and died. Both incidents are equally tragic but the punishments are not! No one has asked the judge for why the difference in the sentences?
This is truly SICKENING!! And why aren't the families of ALL the victims OUTRAGED!??! WTF IS GOING ON!? I am severely dumbfounded at this whole case, smh...
What is scary is that this is only the second worst example of injustice, I've ever heard of. Years ago, a woman was *found guilty* of first degree murder (a very violent, bloody murderer) and got off with probation because her kids didn't want mommy to go to jail!
It wasn't 180 days per person he killed. It was 2 years for fleeing the country and violating his probation. no jail time for the killing. She said that at the beginning then changed her story to "180 days/person.".
if law doesn't give him jail then this world will treat him like a prisoner. every street he walks every store he goes to shop will see him as a killer period.
This proves the injustice our justice system. I personally did 180 days jail, 3 years probation, alcohol ankle monitor, countless classes, AA 4 times an week and roughly $20,000 for a dui. I blew a 0.09 witch is 0.01 over the legal limit. Not saying I was in the right by drinking and driving. But no accident was involved but feel like my punishment was more severe than this guy who killed 4 people.
The prosecution just failed to do their job- all they had to do was take the approach that it takes a village to raise a child. His parents were not the ONLY people to have an influence on him. He went to school, he was put in social situations, he had friends and was able to navigate friendships obviously hence the 7 other people in his car that night, he had grandparents and aunts and uncles- he had MANY opportunities to learn and know the difference between right and wrong. Or else he would be a lonely quiet kid with no friends.
@Missychelle33 I watched this travesty of US Texas justice, from the UK (2019/03 yeah, old news to you guys) and think there's a bigger picture here. Yes, he went to school, but just as charity begins at home, so does the training of a child. From washing hands before sitting at the family table to eat as a family, thus, teaching not just table manners but also socialising over a meal. In light of the apparent lack of discipline, I think the background of the parents could be questioned. "Spare the rid to spoil (in Ethan's case, ruin) the child". Did the parents come from a background of deep hardship leading them to spoil however many children they may have had to give what they didn't have as a child?? Yes, Ethan had 'friends' but were they friends because their parents' were of a similar financial background as his and were equally 'privileged' from a young age??? Where the school attempted to raise the impropriety of an underage child/pupil driving himself to school and the father's response was he'd buy the school (according to the report received in UK), displays a level of arrogance. Again, what was the parent's social circle like??? Could go on, but you see how deep that pit is!!!🤔🤔
I'm black and this proves that it's not always about race it's about money in this world today this is sad and makes me angry with this family worst parents ever
So he got lucky with the 1st judge on the original crime and then got lucky with the 2nd judge who only gave him 2yrs for a violation? 2nd judge should have made it right because he not onky violated but then went on the run instead of taking responsibility for his actions. I really hope he takes this seriously now
This is so sad. The family is clearly unemotional. Money can't make you happy. Those poor families, all of this could have been avoided. I truly think money is the root of all evil.
"It's the best they could do." No it wasn't. The family is wealthy, so they're in good with the elites within their community. The judge is very likely part of that higher echelon. It was a courtesy, pure and simple. He did the best he could do for the family, not the victims. When they violated probation and ran, his hands were tied legally, so he gave them the minimum sentence given the severity of the crime of fleeing.
If he played sports or went to school, someone talked with him about right from wrong. We don't just learn that from parents. And if he was a minority, rich or not, he would have had harsher consequences
There's no excuse for how this kid got off the hook b/c he didn't know from right or wrong. He killed 4 people and injured 7 others for Drinking and Driving. It's ridiculous for what rich people get away with
So I'm sure barely punishing him for killing people will definitely make him now know the difference between right and wrong smfh if anything that jus proves to him he can get away with anything
So he suffers from a fake condition of not knowing right from wrong or consequences so you allowed him to not learn right from wrong by not suffering any consequences for it?
Oh BS....he hasn't changed one bit. If he was overcome by "affluenza" he didn't turn his life around now. Unless of course I'm missing something and that he is volunteering his time at a homeless shelter or at a home for the elderly!
I think that as long as alcohol exists and society accepts it, it is hard to hold anyone responsible for their behaviour when they are under the influence.
Insane racism in this sick horrible country. They talk about how bad it is overseas and how they treat their citizens. We are just as bad over here. This kid was on the verge of losing his whole life for this. I agree he should have been punished but then you need to punish people across the board. Rich white kid, Ethan Couch, took his families truck, drove to wal-mart stole and stole drugs, got behind the wheel while his blood alcohol level was THREE times over the limit, crashed into a car on the side of the road and

I’m sorry but as the saying goes, with friends like this why do you need enemies! I would not as easily forgive somebody who hasn’t so much as shed a single tear in front of all the cameras he’s had in his face. Showing responsibility and actually feeling responsibility are two totally different things.
Just because he’s getting away with it here doesn’t mean he doesn’t get away with it when he’s judged by God. God is good, he’s gonna get his when he dies. Unless he shows some real repentance. He’s gonna have to really show and prove it though.

Good one
Not if you cant pay off the judge lmao
Every person is responsible for their actions, despite whatever upbringing they have. He should have been dealt with in prison, permanently.

Pretty sure he took care of hisself on prison

If the parents "caused" his affluenza they should be in jail
So let me get this straight, the lawyer’s defence was that his wealth and privilege had conditioned him into thinking his actions had no consequences... so the judge decided that he was wasn’t accountable, thereby proving that his wealth and privilege means his actions have no consequences? 🤔
let me set you straight. EVERYONE GOT PAID to do what his parents said.
Pretty much sums it up.
Nailed it.

They should make him work with the coroner picking up bodies of drunk driving accidents.
Yes I agree I think that's exactly what the punishment should be hands on experience
Are you surprised???!!! THIS IS AMERICA, just pay'em off!!!
He has a job now. How does someone with a record like this EVER get a job?
His parents really are a piece of work though, I almost think the lawyer had a point.
I’m surprised he still alive
TheRiseofTony he was arrested again three days ago for failing a drug test
It was his choice to drink and drive, and it is his fault when he killd 4 people, he should have gotten at least 20 years or so in prison.
game player and if he didn’t know right from wrong he wouldn’t stolen beers at Walmart and he didn’t get charged for that either
“The best they could do.” Let a black literally stand outside and he’s harassed. Lovely country.
Yo it ain't about race, it's cause the kids family is wealthy, I know enough white people that did hard time in the state pen
