Outrageous "affluenza" defense sentencing!
The Ethan Couch case is a serious case of injustice benefitting a defendant. The 16-year old got a slap on the wrist sentence after he killed 4 people while DWI. The 'affluenza" defense is not a recognized defense, but it worked at sentencing. Thanks God for Lucas MConnell and others who refused to accept a generous financial settlement and will try to get justice on the civil side.
