***** WARNING this will probably will **** you right off....*****

 

......killing 4 in DUI crash, because he was rich.

 

A judge has let off a 16-year-old boy who killed four people while driving drunk after the teen's lawyers claimed his rich parents spoiled him and never taught him about consequences.

Ethan Couch of Keller, Texas, had faced 20 years behind bars but walked away with 10 years of probation Tuesday, something that angered his victims' families.

'Money always seems to keep (Couch) out of trouble,' Eric Boyles, whose wife and daughter were killed in the June 15 crash, told the Star Telegram after sentencing. 'Ultimately today, I felt that money did prevail. If (he) had been any other youth, I feel like the circumstances would have been different.'

 

Couch's blood alcohol reading was .24 and he also had a Valium in his system after he and a group of friends stole alcohol from Walmart, drank it and later piled into his pick-up truck. Driving 70 miles in a 40 miles per hour zone, he struck and killed four pedestrians as well as injuring two of his own passengers who remain paralyzed.

Youth pastor Brian Jennings; mother and daughter Hollie and Shelby Boyles; and 24-year-old Breanna Mitchell all died in the accident.

 

A psychologist called by the defense, Dr. Gary Miller, blamed the teen's behavior on his parents, claiming they gave him whatever he wanted including 'freedoms no young person should have.' 

Miller called Couch a product of 'affluenza,' where his family felt their wealth bought privilege and there was no rational link between behavior and consequences. He added that the boy had an 'intellectual age' of 18 but an 'emotional age' of 12.

'The teen never learned to say that you?re sorry if you hurt someone,' Miller said, according to the Star Telegram. 'If you hurt someone, you sent him money.'

State District Judge Jean Boyd appeared to agree with the defense.

 

She told the teen that he is responsible for what happened, but she said she didn't believe he would receive the therapy he needed in jail. If he violates the terms of his probation, he could be sent to prison for 10 years.

Defense attorneys asked that he be sent to a private rehabilitation home near Newport Beach, California, which costs an enormous $450,000 a year. His father said he'd foot the bill.

Prosecutors said the juvenile justice system also offered counseling.

 

Breanna's mother, Marla Mitchell, said she was 'mad' about the sentence and embraced the families of the other victims outside of the courtroom.

'He'll be feeling the hand of God, definitely,' she told WFAA.com. 'He may think he got away with something, but he hasn't gotten away with anything.'

Alex Lumas, whose brother was paralyzed in the accident, was also in disbelief at the probation.

'To me, it's not right,' he said. 

However, the widow of one of the victims looked at the defendant in the courtroom and said, 'Ethan, we forgive you,' which caused Couch to swallowed hard and tear up a bit.

 

Couch's family did not comment on the sentence and the teen wasn't allowed to go home with his parents. He will remain at a detention center until Boyd decided whether he can go to the plush California facility.

The teen admitted he was the driver of the pickup truck that crashed and started a chain reaction of car crashes and said he and seven friends had been drinking for hours before the June 15 wreck. 

Some of them were even caught on surveillance video stealing two cases of beer from a nearby Walmart in the hours prior to the horrific smash. 

Couch was charged with four counts of intoxication manslaughter as well as two counts of intoxication assault, according to the Tarrant County district attorney's office.

In September, he appeared with his lawyers for a detention hearing and was released to his parents on the condition that he wear an ankle monitor that allowed officials to keep track of him.

At around 11:45 p.m on June 15, Couch and a group his friends who were all drunk, got into a red Ford F350 pick-up and were barreling down Burleson-Retta Road in southern Tarrant County when the truck left the road.

 

As it careered out of control, it clipped a broken down SUV, throwing the owner and four good Samaritans, who were trying to help, 60 yards in the air. They were all killed on impact.

It was revealed soon after that Couch's blood-alcohol level was 0.24 - three times the adult limit, though minors aren't allowed any alcohol in their system - and that his truck was traveling up to 70 mph when it started the chain reaction of crashes.

The impact flung the four people 50 to 60 yards, authorities reported.

 

Jennings, a Burleson youth minister, had stopped to help Mitchell, whose vehicle had a flat tire, and Boyles and her daughter had come out of their nearby house to assist. The SUV and all four victims were standing off the roadway.

The red pickup then hit Mr Jennings' parked Silverado pickup with two boys inside.

Couch's red pickup flew up into the air, flipped and crashed into a tree.

 

None of the teens in the red truck were wearing seat belts, investigators said.

They had earlier stolen a couple of cases of beer from a Walmart in Burleson about an hour before the crash and prior to that, they had tried unsuccessfully to buy alcohol at a convenience store.

You were correct, placing a warning on that.
Justice for the masses, unless you're rich enough to use that excuse. :angry:

Theft, underage drinking, driving whilst 3 times over the legal limit..... There's a missed opportunity to teach him if I ever saw one!

Let's teach him about consequences by not showing the full force of the consequences......... yep.... .makes sense.

I think he got off too light, but I don't think jail time should have been in the cards. He is only 16 years old, every body makes mistakes. some bigger than others, but still.

 

I think a suspended license + probation + community service should be a big enough punishment.

I get it, and you do have a point in your post, but if this was my son, from my working class family, and add the fact that of the offences, would he have gotten the exact same sentence?

(But I do concede, it is difficult ground to walk on, the 'justice road')

Possibly. But definitely not because of that ridiculous defense. I've known a couple people, working class and one lower who killed someone. It was a first offense and they got probation. One drove drunk again, cause a lot of damage, and thus served out the 5 year sentence. (got early release)

 

If you don't have a history, a lot of people get probation, suspended license, etc.

So you think just cause he's technically still a kid that he should be allowed to get away with killing 4 people?

Give the lawyer a medal for getting him off.

Then put that lawyer, along that rich-kid motherf**ker, into a big box and fire it directly into the Sun.

For murdering 4 people and paralyzing 2 others for life? Not to mention theft and the DUI? Life in prison should have been considered as a "short" sentence for that waste of life.

My parents never said to me that getting drunk and driving at a crowd and killing people is wrong.

 

They never said it was right either.

 

It was and has never been discussed.

 

I am am poor, so if I do it, you can bet your arse to a barn dance I will do 25 years minimum inside.

 

This is yet another thing that is wrong with the world.

 

The people that lost their loved-ones should appeal the decision by the judge, that was probably bought and get it over-turned.

Hang on. Their defence on the issue was that he was never taught about consequences, and so as a result he isn't going to deal with the consequences of his actions like anyone else would?

While the prosecution can appeal a sentence it's a long shot. The families would do better filing wrongful death civil lawsuits and (financially) skin the parents (and the kids trust account) alive there.

Good point. It's an autowin Civil Suit. Irony is, that defense insures the parents can be held liable as well.

WTF? This is madness. Ignorance is not a defense!

That is my sentiment as well. If you can't use the, "Well I didn't know that was illegal" defense for other crimes, you shouldn't be able to use it now; especially since he killed 4 people. Accident or not, drunk driving is inexcusable and this kid should have gotten a harsher punishment. It's pretty disgusting that his parent's money is the reason he's walking free.

 

In all honestly if I were the guy who lost his wife and daughter, there is nothing on this planet that would keep me from getting to that kid.

hes gonna end up in jail idk how he got probation as it was he is a pill popper and goes thieving with his friends

He could have been prescribed that by a Doctor..

 

Benzos mixed with Alcohol will REALLY **** you up.. You shouldn't be anywhere near a car if you mix those two.. Also, can be very dangerous if you take or drink to much because it can shutdown your CNS and keep you from breathing..

The kid most likely didn't get off JUST because his parents are rich.. Super Wealthy people, have connections and have dirt on other high rank officials in the city usually.. Probably pulled some strings, paid some people off, or blackmail.

    • Newegg offers insane combo deal on Amazon Prime Day 2026 that beats Steam Machine

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Sadly "beats Steam Machine" isn't much of a brag.
    • An oversimplified explanations of Passkeys

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Passkeys: Think of them like a broken heart necklace. Imagine one of those heart necklaces that breaks into two matching pieces. One person keeps one half, and the other person keeps the other half. With passkeys, the website has one half, and you have the other half. If the website gets hacked and someone steals its half, that stolen piece is useless by itself. It cannot unlock your account without your matching half. This particular heart necklace is one of a kind, there is only one in existence. Your half of the necklace has to be stored somewhere. It might be stored on your phone, tablet, computer, security key, or a password manager that can sync it between all your devices. A security key is a small physical device that you keep with you, kind of like a house key, car key, or flash drive. I would not usually recommend a security key as the first option for the average person. For most people, it is easier to use their phone, computer, or a password manager that can sync passkeys between their devices. A security key is more like a spare key you keep in a safe place, just in case you lose access to your other devices or your password manager. Some security keys plug into your computer. Some plug into your phone or tablet. Some get tapped against your device. The idea is simple: a security key can hold another passkey for the same website. Think of it like creating a second one-of-a-kind heart necklace for the same account. One necklace could be paired with your password manager, while another necklace could be paired with your security key. That means the website has more than one matching half on file. One half matches the passkey in your password manager. Another half matches the passkey stored on your security key. So, if you lose access to your phone, computer, or password manager, you would still be able to log in using the passkey stored on your security key. Think of it like keeping an extra special necklace piece on a tiny keychain, stored somewhere safe. The website still has the matching half for that security key, but your half is safely stored inside the little key. A passkey does not automatically exist on every device you own. It lives wherever you save it. If your half is stored on one device, then that device is the one that has the matching piece. For example, if you create the passkey on your Windows computer and it is only saved to that computer, your iPhone does not automatically have that same half. If you create it on your iPhone and it only stays on that iPhone, your Android phone does not automatically have it either. That is where password managers come in. A password manager can act like a protected jewelry box for your passkeys. Instead of your half of the necklace being locked to only one device, the password manager can securely sync that half to your other approved devices. For example, Apple Passwords and iCloud Keychain can sync passkeys between your Apple devices. Google Password Manager can sync passkeys with your Google account. But password managers such as 1Password and Bitwarden can sync passkeys between everything, your phones, tablets and computers. Now, you might ask: “What happens if I lose access to the device that has my passkey?” That depends on where your passkey was saved and what recovery options the website gives you. If your passkey was synced through a password manager, you may be able to sign in from another device that has access to that same password manager. For example, if your passkey is saved in iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, 1Password, or Bitwarden, another approved device may still have access to it. If your passkey was saved only on one phone, computer, or security key, and you lose that device, then you may not have your half of the necklace anymore. In that case, you would usually need to use the website’s backup login or account recovery options. A lot of websites that support passkeys still let you fall back to your regular password. So if you lose access to your passkey, the site may still let you log in with your password, a code sent to your email, a text message, a recovery code, or some other account recovery process. That is convenient, but it is also important to understand: if the website still allows password login, then your password still matters. Passkeys are safer than passwords, but if your account still has a password as a backup, you should still use a strong, unique password and turn on two-factor authentication if the website offers it. This is why it is a good idea to have more than one safe way back into important accounts. For example, you might keep your passkey in a syncing password manager, add a second trusted device, save recovery codes somewhere safe, or set up a backup security key. A passkey is very secure, but just like a real key, you need a backup plan in case you lose access to it. Now, you might ask: “What stops a hacker from copying my half of the necklace?” That’s the important part: your half is protected. It is not something you type in, and it is not something the website gets to keep. Think of your half as being locked inside a tiny safe on your phone, computer, security key, or password manager. That safe only opens when you approve it with your fingerprint, face, PIN, or device password. When you log in, the website does not need to see your half. It only needs proof that your half matches its half. Your actual half is not handed over to the website. This is different from a password. With a password, you type the secret into the website. If you type it into a fake website, the hacker now has it. With a passkey, you are not typing your secret into the website. Your device is proving you have the matching half without giving the half away. That also helps protect you from fake websites. If someone makes a fake login page that looks like the real site, your device can tell it is not the real match. It will not use your passkey there. Now, could someone use your passkey if they stole your device, got into your password manager, or somehow unlocked the safe that holds your half? Yes, that is why your device password, PIN, fingerprint, face unlock, and password manager security still matter. But a hacker cannot just steal your passkey from the website or trick you into typing it into a fake page like they can with a password. That is why passkeys are safer than passwords. The two matching pieces have to come together, like two lovebirds who were once separated and are finally reunited.

      I heard from a lot of people that driver support for the latest games when RDNA first came out (Radeon 5000 series) was pretty bad, but if you didn't buy the card on day one, or were not trying to play the latest titles, then you were isolated from that issue. Other than that, it's been good and only getting better.
