what the folk does is parents’ income have to do with his criminal recklessness?

Listen, all you who want to throw away the key, the fact that he was blotto negates intent. Negligent homicide is about all you get. Since he was affluent, he probably had lots of insurance, unlike the minimally insured drunk.

Yes, it is a tragedy all the way around. But putting a 16 year old high school student in a prison population of people who committed intentional crimes is not legal or right. Just the way it is.

you are incorrect. Being drunk or high on drugs is not a mitigating factor…. because an ordinary person would anticipate an accident even one causing death if some one is drunk and gets behind the wheel of a car.

You are either just dimd or you spent too many years defending criminals

BS. He chose to get behind the wheel with a belly full of beer.
