The family of Ethan Couch, the teenager who fatally struck a disabled motorist and three good Samaritans last summer while driving drunk near Burleson, has settled lawsuits with some of the victims families.
The Couch family agreed to pay an undisclosed amount to the families of Breanna Mitchell and Hollie Boyles and her daughter Shelby.
The family of youth pastor Brian Jennings has not reached a settlement with Couchs family.
Jennings and the Boyleses had pulled over to help Mitchell, who had stopped after a tire blowout late June 15 in the 1500 block of Burleson-Retta Road.
The pickup Couch was driving, which was registered to his fathers company, struck all four pedestrians while traveling 70 mph. The truck flipped, ejecting two teenagers who were sitting in the truck bed and striking several other vehicles.

Don't count on it. He's already set a precedent for "spoiled brats aren't legally liable for their actions" with his affluenza defense once. Not only Couch, but countless others like him will be able to use this in their defense in the future.
My wife’s late father was an electrician. In the late 80s a group bought Dr. Bob’s house in Cleveland. My father in law worked on the remodel. He found a pint of whiskey in the walls that Dr. Bob had obviously forgotten was there.

Neat story. Yes, hiding booze/beer as a form of denial.
When my girlfriend at the time was finally out of the house and in treatment. I found 2 contractor garbage bags worth of empty beer cans, vodka bottles, rubbing alcohol bottles and mouthwash bottles in some of the most fascinating places. Would be nice to have all the money wasted on that these days.
