From the state with the best justice money can buy! I wonder how understanding the judge would be if this kid was poor, and the defense argued his parents never taught him right from wrong. At least the families of his four victims will be able to sue the pants off this spoiled brat’s family:
A spoiled Texas teen who killed four in a drunken driving accident dodged prison and was sentenced to probation instead after defense lawyers argued his wealthy parents never taught him right from wrong.
Ethan Couch, 16, was facing 20 years behind bars for the horrific June wreck, but instead walked out of a Fort Worth courtroom Tuesday with 10 years’ probation.
The rich brat’s legal team said he needed counseling, not hard time, and proposed sending him to a posh Southern California treatment facility that would cost his family $500,000 a year.
You guessed it: He got ten years probation and will enter a rehab center for the wealthy. Bet he learns his lesson now, huh?
There is no therapy for sociopaths. Therapy only works is a person feels bad about what they have done and feel empathy for the pain cause to other people. If empathy and bonding have not been established in infancy and early childhood, there is practically no hope for finding it later. A sociopath only understands punishment for getting caught.
So it’ll be appropriate that the parents who didn’t do their job, will get sued by the victims.
