Some people will try to excuse his actions because "he's a teenager that doesn't know better" also I can't stand those types of parents that just let their kids do whatever they want with no consequences.

Honestly, the whole "affluenza" defense can be summed up with one simple statement: Judge, since they spent their whole life not having consequences for their actions, we think they shouldn't have consequences for these actions either. How the heck did that even work!?

Imagine being able to kill 4 people under those circumstances and not even facing prison time. What an absolute joke, the disgust I feel is unspeakable.

A teen in cali intentionally ran over a mom and her baby and he got sentenced to summer camp. "Being a teen" is not an excuse for a light sentence, 16 years old is more than old enough to know right from wrong. Bet if it was the judges family that got slaughtered it'd be the maximum sentence.

Always have hated these rich people getting away with so much due to their wealth and power. The kid had life on extra easy mode and still managed to fuck it up

One of the people killed was my youth pastor, seeing his kids after the accident really changed my childhood outlook forever. No kid should have to see their Dads killer walk free. Rest easy Brian, your kids are doing great now.

Hearing the dad talking about finding his father’s days cards was so heartbreaking. I can only imagine how horrible it’d be to lose your entire family, especially on the day before a day about family. I can only hope that he can find peace now

"He was so rich and spoiled that he didn't know better" I believe that's is when the judge and prosecutor should had said: "it is time for him to learn what is better and take responsibility for his actions."

The whole damn family should've been thrown in prison. Everyone knew "Affluenza" was a bullshit defense but because money talks, it worked.

So “punishing” a kid for never facing consequences by letting him walk away without consequences, makes sense

If being rich is the issue, I think the family should give all their assets to the victims 🤷‍♂️

Remember kids, laws only apply to poor and working class people. I'd say the American justice system is a joke, but I ain't never laughed.

If the kid gets to walk free, at the VERY LEAST punish the parents for the horrible parenting that caused this

“Thanks for ruining my life” - kid who drunk drove and sped into 4 people killing them and hurting his friends…. That’s probably the most disgusting part about this is the just lack of any shred of guilt

"Thanks for ruining my life" you did that yourself buddy, along with the lives of 4 people you killed.

He went from looking like a 16 year old to a 35 year old in 2 years. Ouch.

Just imagine being close to one of the victims at the time to basically hear the verdict be "Yeah umm sorry but this kid grew up TOO wealthy and happy so we gotta let him go and get help sorry 🤷"

He didn't get off cause he was a kid. He got off cause he's rich. I turned 15 in a state yard with 5 years left to go for a non violent crime. Feed him to the system.

That poor poor father who lost his family. . .I heavily pity him. One moment he's happy for Father's Day, the next he's "gifted" with the present of a dead family. All thanks to this disgusting family that looks like they've been pulled from fiction. It's unfair how some can get away with consequences by merely being rich. They all need to be taken down a peg and taught humility. For everyone else who have to fight for survival (not literally, but you know what I mean) it's just unfair.

I don't believe for one minute that this kid got off because of said "affluenza". He got off because daddy and mommy payed the judge a handsome chunk of change. Let's not kid ourselves

People who claim affluenza shouldn't be handed over to a resort style facility to "get better". They need to be brought down back to society. Jail is the perfect place for that. But I know I'm asking too much of the system.

Rich people getting away with it? Consider me shocked.

They didn't "ruin his life" he did a pretty decent job of doing that, all by himself

I certainly hope the judge was recalled. Such a stupid verdict makes me wonder if the judge was on the take.

I had a friend who worked at the Couch foundary. He said, he wouldn’t have been surprised if the Couches paid off the judge.

This case is sickening! Also shows numerous times that the family are blatantly buying their freedom. The US justice system is a joke, its no wonder that the US rich believe they can do as they please. They truly can and have zero concerns of the consequences.

This kid was one of my psych professor's favorite stories in college. Had him for a few different courses and he absolutely howled on occasion over the "affluenza" defense in court. He went in more detail in childhood psychology concerning various parenting styles (Authoritarian, Permissive, Authoritative, and neglect/uninvolved) and how this case is how permissive parenting to the extreme can lead into this level of civil terror.

I wanted to see this guy run into the wrong people and get destroyed, still do.

The peoples with the biggest mistake in this case are his parents… You can’t just leave your teenage child without control… Allowing him to drink alcohol and drive at the age of 13 it’s just a big mistake… They were irresponsible!!!

Read up on Katie Price. She’s above the law. She has committed so many drug and vehicle offences which would have got a normal person locked up for years whereas she walks free always. And she continues to do it!

This case is so aggravating

Something I'll never understand is when you use "affluenza" as a defense, shouldn't the natural reaction to be putting him in jail? He can't grasp consequences, so the court needs to teach him some. I absolutely think he should've sentenced for ATLEAST 30 years, and I'm an activist for shorter prison sentences. I absolutely think his parents bribed the judge. B

This puts bad parenting at a whole new level, which is really just no parenting at all. I've noticed that when people gain the idea that they can do anything they want they also oddly start acting as though they are immortal.

Entitlement and nepotism are some of the worst human qualities out there I swear. Everything about this is just disgusting. His sentencing still is nothing, I'm so sick of motorists that very clearly made the decision to drive drunk get nothing when they fucking MURDER someone. It just literally makes no sense to me. What if that person was waving a gun around while they were drunk and shot someone? They would get a very hefty charge, and definately serve jail time at least. But completely brutalize and mow that person down with an arguably deadlier multiple ton weapon and its questionable if they get punished at all? INSANE

I might have to stop watching this one just because it was so infuriating to hear that the parents let him drink at 13... And they also let him drive drunk.... Losing faith in humanity holy shit

Does Affluenza have a condition that is it's complete opposite? You know, too poor? Cause probably that has been affecting youths that grow up in extreme poverty and turn to crime, but they probably wouldn't get therapy resorts for rehabilitation.

Ethan Couch's story is basically how money is the root of all evil, as the old saying goes, from greed to protection. Also, GFM, if you're gonna add in another installation to your "from Hell" series, may I suggest the Judge from Hell, as in Mike Ciavarella, the corrupt judge who was one of the masterminds behind the Kids for Cash scandal

I was in college when this story broke. My parents made it clear to me that if I ever pulled something like that the only help they would be giving would be to the prosecutor. But then again, my parents are good people.

I remember hearing about this when I was a kid. Couldn’t believe it. I thought it was a made up story. The amount of parent neglect, immaturity, and evil was to much for me to believe.

This is why vigilante justice should be a valid part of society when the justice system fails.

I am an only child, and my mother might love me TOO much, if that's possible... I was ALSO the only grandchild until age 5. Spoiled doesn't begin to describe, but if I did something wrong she made sure I was dealt with appropriately

The legal system is a crock of shit. Juvie is a literal joke and these so called “kids” need to be treated like adults. Yes, I do agree that minors should be split from actual adults, but they don’t deserve to get less harsh punishments.

He should been charged as an adult and his punk ass serve life in prison. Leniency on crooks only lets them commit more crimes and it has been proven over and over and over again. If he didn’t understand “punishment” 50 years in prison will let him think on it for a while - I bet he understands when he gets out of prison at 75

"Thanks for ruining my life"... are you serious mate? This guy kills people, gets nearly no punishment, gets a 5 star hotel of a rehab center, chooses to flee the country anyway. Im baffled at this level of entitlement, sometimes rich people should just lose it all for a year or two so they can learn sone damn humility.

The parents need to be held responsible for their kids. You see this shit all the time.

As soon as I heard “born to a family of immense wealth”, I knew what this kid’s attitude and family was gonna be like. No sense of responsibility or respect.

"Born to a family of immense wealth" Well there you go. That's how he got away with it.

Who ever decided the Afluinza defense, should be taken to the farm up north. With the kid. Killing 4 innocent people should result in life in prison.

Whats the point of being rich without a jawline

15:25 "Fred was arrested for choking a girlfriend, leading to him being arrested" 🤣 In all honesty though I hope this entire family gets exactly what they deserve and that the justice system works out whatever obscene error in judgement it's got currently occurring

When the law gets it wrong, someone else has to get it right. Here’s hoping Ethan ends up on the receiving end of some vigilante justice.

I’m about an hour and a half from Dallas. I remember this because my son had just been born. This was an absolute tragedy and I can’t believe his father never got any consequences either. Their defense is ridiculous. They shouldn’t of had any treatment different from that of an average person. I really hope he eventually got what was coming to him. Those for people trying to help did not deserve to have their lives taken. Also, how the heck was he awake to do any of that?

I ask myself this in so many cases, how do people like this have friends!? We have such limited time on this planet, who willingly wants to hang out with people like this?

He literally used the excuse " I'm too rich to be held to your standards '. That was the craziest part.

Honestly I don’t even get why this family defend their son. Since The only thing they’re doing is feeding the beast and give him more reasons to keep behaving this way.🐱

Well, that's all the more reason to make sure that you wait until you're beyond rich to have children if you're going to.

"Born from a family of immense wealth" That is never a good sign

‘Your honor, he’s never been held accountable in his life, which is why he did this. So we really shouldn’t hold him accountable.’

Ethan:"Thanks for ruining my life" At least you still have one to be ruined which can't be said for the 4 people whose lives you ended. Or how your "Ruined" life pales in comparison to the surviving family of those you took. Enjoy whats left of the money that hasn't burnt up Ethan, once its gone no one will come to your rescue.

He’s got one of those faces of somebody you just look at and automatically just don’t like even if they haven’t done anything to you. 🤣🥴

I remember hearing about this when it happened and I was attending a private school at the time or had just graduated can't recall. It was a point of discussion among our school because we knew kids like that. Had all the money in the world, would often push the crazy too far and end up in the watch house overnight. Next day back to being a crazy person. Wrap sheet as long as your arm yet they always seemed to land on their feet. There was a very famous case here in Australia where a teen got off when he was speeding in a very modified rx7 Mazda..... He was traveling at very high speed and the road was a dead end. He launched the car into the air off the berm at the end.. killed 3 people and almost himself. He got off with a slap on the wrist because his defence proved the road sign that indicated it was a dead end was knocked over and he didn't know it was a dead end. We couldn't believe it and we knew the kid, he was a nut case behind the wheel and we all knew it. He went to a school that was a very expensive private school in the city. Money for sure has an impact on the justice system which is a real shame. The fact a jury believed that afluenza bullshit is mental to me. Just because he was raised with 0 disapline doesn't give him the right to take a life. Money doesn't equate to being clueless.

I remember this. That judge should've been fired. It's common knowledge that ignorance of the law is not a defense. But that's exactly what they used and that joke of a judge bought it. Or someone just slipped that judge a hefty "donation" to just ignore how the world works. Smh. They just added to the kids affluenza. Morons. He'll never understand the consequences of his actions if no one ever gives him any consequences. 🙄

"If you want to destroy a man, give him everything he's ever wanted."

This is just more proof that our "Justice" system is pay system. You got money you can get away with anything. I would of been outrage at his hearing if I was the Father who lost his family. He deserves justice that day.

Sponsorship ends at 8:43. Let’s keep going strong!

There's some people in this world so beneath contempt so spoiled and so entitled that I can never truly feel pity for them no matter what may happen to them. Some people need a big fall to wake them up and some people never do no matter what. I don't believe these people will ever have an epiphany but if they do it would be all the better for them and hopefully the rest of the world but I won't hold my breath.

some "people" do NOT deserve a second chance, and just need to be eliminated, for the good of humanity as a whole.

So now we know how many crimes you can get away with if you're rich. You may commit affluenza number of crimes before the system starts treating you fairly if you're rich.

Basically that one kid nobody actually liked but was cool with because his parents were rich and didn't have any rules

I had heard that the reason a judge would let this fly was actually to try to get a much much harsher sentence later on. If he hadn't, the kid would have gotten a light sentence anyway due to him being a juvenile. However the judge KNOWS the kid will absolutely violate that 10 year probation when he's an adult and itl be at the time the full hammer of justice would drop. Its a legal tactic by the judge to try to get this guy more time when his hands are tied by the fact he's a juvenile. Its a gamble by the judge, but to be fair, you had to know this kid would certainly violate that probation. Of course, no idea why he only got 2 years of jail once he did. Shame.

15:24 “In September of 2019, Fred was arrested for choking a girlfriend leading to him being arrested. “

RIP to the victims. I’m so sorry for your losses.

That poor father of those kids hit by the truck I legit teared up

This family is terrible. One of the worst of the worst.

It's like when you get too rich human life stops having any value.

What the opposite of "afluenza" some one should use it in court. ( I was to poor to realize right from wrong lol)

They wanted to cure his "affluenza " so they figured sending him to basically a resort as punishment for killing 4 people would do the trick??

Not gonna lie, I thought "affluenza" was synonymous with "influenza" when hearing about this was a kid. But why couldn't the parents get any jail time anyway? And since seems like a generational thing, why not arrest the grandparents too?

Too many bottles of this wine we can't pronounce Too many bowls of that green, no Lucky Charms The maids come around too much Parents ain't around enough Too many joy rides in daddy's Jaguar Too many white lies and white lines Super rich kids with nothing but loose ends Super rich kids with nothing but fake friends- Frank Ocean

"And didn't get jail time." That's the entire title lol, I love it.

Imagine being so filthy rich you are devoid of basic human ethics.

It's incredibly upsetting that after all the disaster this kid has caused, he'll only get 2 years. If this story doesn't say that wealth leads to corruption I don't know what will. At least we now know their reputation will forever be tarnished with all these incidents piled up, but justice has yet to be fully served to this family...

It’s so frustrating that saying he’s too rich to know better, then his money being used to get him out of consequences, teaches him literally nothing. It’s disgusting.

as a 27 year old man that is not by any means small, even 1 beer is risky to drive on for me. Especially the beer that comes from my town.

We do not have a justice system, we have a legal system.

Sounds like bad driving runs in the family. Honestly, I thought parents don't want their kids to make to make the same mistakes they've made.

Nothing can beat the American justice system... except money

"he doesn't know that his actions have consequences, so let's keep that going, by not punishing him for what he did and somehow that will teach him"

I wish I could say that I’m amazed that the parents were never held responsible in any real way for the numerous crimes they committed throughout Ethan’s childhood. That does not absolve Ethan in any way- he showed no real remorse for the terrible things that he did. He clearly was just saying and doing whatever he needed to in order to avoid a serious punishment. I’m so sad thinking about all the people who were killed or injured senselessly. It must have felt awful for the victims and their families to be denied proper justice. I also feel bad for all the kids who weren’t rich, or white, who couldn’t afford a team of lawyers and committed non violent crimes. all the kids who didn’t get a slap on the wrist but instead were “made an example of” or punished more harshly for whatever reason. the system is beyond broken.

Money buys most things, except being a good person.

Justice always has a price tag.

Well, at least he grew up to look like that 👆🏽…. That’s a li’l bit of karma at least …

Sponsorship is from 7:56 to 8:43

If you’re rich you win in cases like this because all they care about is money not justice

He was truly God's drunkest driver.

Affluenza is literally the dumbest reason to let someone free aside from double-jeopardy. If anything it means they have reason to receive at least double the punishment.

I swear it's getting darker in your room.

Clearly being lenient does nothing for this family. Give them all life and move on.

Terrible parenting and terrible judge
