Sounds kind of crass I know but his solution solved a lot of problems!!!
this is more hate the rich who are preying on us crapola
if some inner city kid had done it, no one would be mad that a 16 year old wasn’t thrown into prison to be raped because he was hopeless and disadvantaged
so, is everybody really saying we will hold the rich to a higher standard because they are rich? wrong so wrong
obviously the kid needs help. obviously everybody was compensated by the insurance company. obviously the judge can’t make it any better.
but without evidence that it was a known pattern of behavior, it is not punishable by a prison term
what is wrong with people?
obama’s press is trying to get everybody to hate the “rich”.
who wouldn’t get their kid a lawyer if their kid was in trouble? that is what lawyers are for. anybody who simply throws themselves on the mercy of the court is a flipping idiot. The court can’t seek out and present evidence to itself. a kid has no idea what evidence is and most people don’t either. the facts have to be argued and presented. that is what the court is for. there is no foregone conclusion such as well 4 died in a car wreck plus alcohol involved equals prison time. this is not Saudi Arabia or north Korea.
I highly doubt little Ethan is laughing at them
believe me, his counterparts do not think this is cool and neither do his parents’ counterparts
he is probably viewed in a very bad place light right now, people avoiding him like the plague
you are twisted
what is wrong with you, you are talking about a 16 year old kid
it is not about revenge big boy, it is about making people whole and the judge cannot make this any better
okay “sport” let’s hope you never need a lawyer
people that need one are usually in deep trouble
Higher standard....what higher standard...the son of bitch got drunk and killed four people....his ass belongs in prison. Fact is his daddy paid off some politicians and got the bastard off!!!
yes, I am personally familiar with similar situations
it is extremely difficult to try to help someone who is self destructive like this kid
but throwing away the key is not what we as a country are about
he had an accident and alcohol was involved
he did not set out to kill people
thank you, this article is more let’s all gang up on the rich crap, that is all
you are a nut case
Coming from you I take that as a badge of honor....moron!!!
here is when you get prison for drunk driving

This verdict, while farcical, actually isn’t as bad as it looks. The parents think that they were smart in getting some high dollar shrink to find a way to get the criminal charges to teflon off their kid, but the verdict actually identifies the parents as causal factors in the collision. This means that they are also now civilly liable in up to four wrongful death suits as well bodily injury suits from the injuries sustained by the kid’s friends, as well as all the property damage.
They wouldn’t have exposures like that if junior had been convicted of DUI and manslaughter/”involuntary homicide” as the liability would have rested solely on him.
In essence they’ve been cursed by their own hubris.
Making people "whole"...
LOLz!
This case is outrageous but it happens in a lot of cases. No one wants to be responsible for their actions anymore. Way too many people in this country are like kids who get caught doing something bad and want Mommy and Daddy to let them off the hook or cut them a break. Our society has made “personal responsibility” a bad word and we now are reaping what we sowed.
right if someone hurts you by accident, you aye entitled to money damages, that’s it, end of story, now do you get it?
The cure for this particular case of affluenza would appear to be the dreaded ambulance chaser.
In a just world, the 16-year old “kid” would be swinging like a headless piñata under a tall tree, the whole arrangement preferably paid for by his parents.
