This sort of corruption makes people that much more inclined to listen to "eat the rich" socialist rhetoric.
The best justice money can buy.
The young part will change over time. I have no faith in him ever not being stupid, not being rich, and not being a drunk.
The 'injured' received nothing. They're dead. Four of them. Any one of which was probably a greater loss to society than this slobbering drunk would have been.
What language is he ffluent in?
Money talks in all languages.
We can only hope he violates his probation before the latter prediction comes true...
Yup. The only silver lining in this "affluenza" sentence, is that the judge's finding may make it easier to go after the parents in a civil suit. The cure for this kid's "affluenza" just may be bankrupting his parents.
A gentleman that used to be our janitor had his daughter killed by a rich drunk driver. That driver got off, even though he hit the child in the gentleman's front yard.
The gentleman was an undertaker. He visited the young drunk at the hospital, where the nurse left him alone with a scalpel for a few minutes. The drunk had a “Joker” smile as a result, and the gentleman served ten years in prison.
The drunk later killed more people when he pancaked his new sports car into an over pass on I35. The gentleman was released, and now is a prison minister.
We have a legal system, not a justice system.
But then what? It doesn't sound like he got sentenced to prison and had the sentence suspended or anything like that so that if he did violate his parole then he'd go to jail. If he violates his parole, what does he get? Longer parole?
I don't know exactly how the procedure works in Texas, but when someone is sentenced to probation and violates that probation, they can be brought before a judge (either the judge who sentenced him or an administrative judge) for a probation revocation hearing. If probation is revoked, the person will then be brought before a judge (this time, typically the same judge who sentenced him) and re-sentenced.
not at the rate he is going
no, the deceased are dead. The “injured” are their family members or spouses.
You really don’t know everything despite what you imagine
I doubt I'll get any enlightenment from you.
Yup!
The other day the question came up as to what laws were broken who broke which law.
Do you have a link to that information, I could use?
