A juvenile-court equivalent of an arrest warrant has been issued for a teenager who killed four people in a 2013 drunken-driving wreck near Fort Worth, then claimed as part of his defense that he suffered from "affluenza." [...]

(Ethan) Couch was 16 when he drunkenly rammed a pickup truck into a crowd of people, killing four. ...

To this day, I still cannot believe he got away with it.

(Please resist arrest, please resist arrest)

His defense was his wealthy parents coddled him too much?

For killing 4 people?

And he got away with it.

Hoping he is subject to having a lengthy prison sentence upon revocation of probation.

That whole family is just loathsome. If they were fed to lions, I wouldn’t say “No, stop, this is wrong,” until after the lions were done eating.

I wonder what the judge’s bank account looks like. Seems he was retiring soon after that case, wasn’t he?

[TexasTransplant]

He might be building a Clock

The little sh*t in question

[The Antiyuppie]

Darned shame, he was just getting his life together.

Well, the judge was able to afford to retire shortly after she let him off with a slap on the wrist.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

The whole thing continues to stink.

[PAR35]

Judge was a ‘she’, not a ‘he’. Married to a dentist.

[henkster]

He was going to be a recording artist.

[PAR35]

I understand that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree - his daddy never had to face justice for any of his charges, either.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Didn’t know that.

Time to go dig up that info...

[BBell]

Helloooooo Ethan

I'm your new roommate.

[SkyDancer]

He should have been in prison until the next century.

There used to be a old saying,”You can’d put a million dollars in jail”. I guess he proved it.
