"Affluenza": A fate worse tham Zimmerman


Revisiting the story of Ethan Couch, the "affluenza" kid made me think about that early 90s HBO: Families in Crisis special where drunk driver Kevin Tunell, who killed a girl in a DUI, had to write a check every day to her parents per his sentence for the next 18 years until his guilt eventually overwhelmed him. Not only has Ethan Couch, his parents and especially the judge and psychologist has made an enemy out of his victims' families, but any other person who had to serve a proper sentence for their DUI manslaughter as well as any cop who's had to face the scene of such accidents and any real judge who has had to deal such cases in their courts.


Young Mr. Couch is going to have fewer allies that George Zimmerman, and his parents can't always be there for him. I hope he enjoys spending the rest of his life locked up in the family estate for protection's sake.

There is already a petition in action to have Judge Jean Boyd removed from the bench:
