Should have been in prison in the first place. I hope there’s a shoot out when they find the killer. “Afluenza” my butt.

TDC will eat this kid up and spit out the bones. His parents better be putting money away to pay the AB for his protection. The Walls is no place for spoiled little rich kid..

Don’t you think they are more likely to pay the staff than the other prisoners?

Sounds like a candidate for “prison bitch”. Affluenza won’t go over very well in prison.

On Saturday, June 15, 2013, according to authorities and trial testimony, Couch was witnessed on surveillance video stealing two cases of beer from a Walmart store, driving with seven passengers in his father's Ford F-350 pickup truck, and speeding (70 MPH in a designated 40 MPH zone). Three hours after the incident, he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.24, three times the legal limit for adult drivers in Texas, and tested positive for Valium.
Approximately an hour after the beer theft, Couch was driving his father's truck at 70 MPH on a dark, rural road where motorist Breanna Mitchell's sport utility vehicle had stalled. Hollie Boyles and her daughter Shelby, who lived nearby, had come out to help her, as had passing youth minister Brian Jennings. Couch's truck swerved off the road and into Mitchell's SUV, then plowed into Jennings' parked car, which in turn hit an oncoming Volkswagen Beetle. The truck then flipped over and hit a tree. Mitchell, Jennings, and both Hollie and Shelby Boyles were killed, while Couch and his seven teen passengers (none wearing seat belts) survived, as did the two children in Jennings' car and the two people in the Volkswagen

He’s most likely in Costa Rica. No extradition. Where most “wanted” criminals expatriate to.

He’s also a thief?
I did not know that.
They’ll find him eventually.
