Every time I am reminded of this @$$ hat my blood boils. He should have been jailed for life.

In the US you get all the justice you can afford, it’s just an inverse curve.

What a disgusting joke. And yet the local rich guy here - John Goodman from Wellington, FL, decent guy but wrong place, wrong time to be drunk - his trial was a classic class envy showcase. Not saying he shouldn’t be doing the time. He took someone’s life. I’m saying so should this kid.

The argument was that his parents didn’t teach him right from wrong. If that excuse is to be accepted then both of his parents should have been tried and served a typical sentence for vehicular homicide and the kid put into a program to teach him right from wrong. The USMC might suffice for that.

Hey, it worked for Ted Kennedy. He murdered a woman and go away with it where an average Joe would have died in prison.

Obviously we must ban vehicles and certain vehicle features, it’s “common sense car control.”
/ Obvious sarc.
This idiot shouldn’t be free, the sentence didn’t fit the crime.

As a FW resident, this hits close to home.
Tarrant County (Fort Worth) is jokingly called “Tolerant County” because of cr@p like this.

FW resident here as well (in spite of moniker). I remember how upset I was that this puke is only serving time because he screwed up his probation. His mom is in trouble again, I believe.
News story I heard on WBAP was interesting, “this boy, now a man” blech

What an obscenity! I am surprised that this sentence stood without being overturned, so much for justice.

‘JuiceStice” ain’t what it used to be in Texas. It seems to have lost a bit of its bite.

I don’t think there is an ounce of remorse in him.

...affluenza that his legal team claimed left him unable to tell right from wrong because of his familys wealth. The case took a bizarre turn in 2015 after a video of Couch drinking, a violation of his probation, surfaced online and appeared to trigger an escape to Mexico with his mother.
Thanks NRx.

Since the State did not provide justice it appears fitting that a member of the family who were the victims of this criminal sees that a just punishment is administered. I know that would be my approach.

Just saw this on the local news. I wonder how much the family paid the judge for his original ruling? This judge needs investigating....disgusting. Didn’t’ know right from wrong? What utter BS!
