had it been my family it killed, the judge would never have seen this day...In the US you get all the justice you can afford, it’s just an inverse curve.
What a disgusting joke. And yet the local rich guy here - John Goodman from Wellington, FL, decent guy but wrong place, wrong time to be drunk - his trial was a classic class envy showcase. Not saying he shouldn’t be doing the time. He took someone’s life. I’m saying so should this kid.
The argument was that his parents didn’t teach him right from wrong. If that excuse is to be accepted then both of his parents should have been tried and served a typical sentence for vehicular homicide and the kid put into a program to teach him right from wrong. The USMC might suffice for that.
Obviously we must ban vehicles and certain vehicle features, it’s “common sense car control.”

This idiot shouldn’t be free, the sentence didn’t fit the crime.
As a FW resident, this hits close to home.
Tarrant County (Fort Worth) is jokingly called “Tolerant County” because of cr@p like this.
What an obscenity! I am surprised that this sentence stood without being overturned, so much for justice.
‘JuiceStice” ain’t what it used to be in Texas. It seems to have lost a bit of its bite.
had it been my family it killed, the judge would never have seen this day...I believe in the Law until it interferes with Justice.
Since the State did not provide justice it appears fitting that a member of the family who were the victims of this criminal sees that a just punishment is administered. I know that would be my approach.
Just saw this on the local news. I wonder how much the family paid the judge for his original ruling? This judge needs investigating....disgusting. Didn’t’ know right from wrong? What utter BS!
We need to ban this dangerous drug.
This is wrong. Hopefully he’ll be back in jail by the end of the year WITHOUT hurting anyone else.
He’ll be back.
He’s not done with jail.
