Outrage followed Couch when he got a lighter sentence than expected and fled to Mexico with his mom while on probation. He remains on probation until Dec. 2023.
Some couches lived up the road from me who were ALL drunks wouldn't work living with their mother up into their 60s. Out of 4 sons the mother outlived all but one.
Had it been a black teenager or a Hispanic teenager or ANY other minority. He would have served multiple life sentences. You see America? Justice system sucks!
@@tomfisher7206 nah, theres plenty of examples of NFL players doing reckless things and causing harm or death to innocent people. 2 years ago a football player drove drunk and ended the life of young woman in a car wreck, the judge in that case is seeking 15 years, couch got to go to a resort as his "punishment". wanna take a wild guess as to what thr ethnicity of the football player is?
NO! TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! Shame on all those that defended this Child. His parents are despicable and irresponsible . They should all have to pay fines and community service for life!
Ethan Couch deserves a life sentence. 😢 I didn't see any sign he's going to regret for whatever he did. He didn't show any sign during the last 10 years.
So this alleged judge actually bought the argument that since he had never been made accountable for his actions before, it was too late to make him accountable Now, no matter how many deaths he caused or lives he destroyed. Brilliant, judge. I can see you're earning your $175,000 a year. The psychologist who testified on his behalf and used this "affluenza" bs, should have his license pulled, for selling out his profession for cash. He did tremendous damage to the psychiatric profession by doing that.
This is still so terrible i've known about this for years and was angry then but even older this is just so unacceptable. To even label this with such a name as if they really are entitled is sickening to the core that he killed all those people and could care less. The whole family is on drugs. This is so infuriating and heartbreaking.
This is the most abhorrent misuse of defence ever Kills 4 His friend paralysed and he does 720 days in jail his mother uses her money to flee to Mexico and he gets what amounts to a slap on a wrist get real justice yeah nah
16 and able to drive. 6 years prior he was only a 10 yr old Its a mental court case helping a mental case. Not all his faulth tho. Hes too young to make a grown up decision. He will suffer for the rest of his life once he matures.
His families wealthy and that’s the problem with the system. They’re always you know, favoring those that more money and resources in the others and that’s what there’s some fairness in the justice system, but the justice system needs to have more openness in order to solve crimes more effectively and Also, so they’re not putting people to death so fast because some people that face the death penalty were innocent like that 14-year-old boys Jim Crow south who is accused of killing two white girls, but was innocent only for that to be proven century later but it’s more than that All right just be favoring the wealthy. They need to go to jail just like everyone else otherwise what’s the point of saying justice for all if there is no justice for everyone and if there’s no equality, then we pretty much be a totalitarian regime or rules are invalid to those propositions of power, wealth
