You see the problem with that is he is rich. If he had killed a rich person then we would have to consider it, but really, we have more then enough poor people and a few less are not going to be missed. /s

This whole situation is screwed up and it seems to keep getting worse. So he kills 4 people, gets off because he's rich, but not so rich that his parents have to pay for his "treatment", the dad gets busted for impersonating a cop, he flees, and not a damn thing will be done about any of it because money. There was absolutely no justice for the victims and their family's.

To the person above who said two wrongs don't make a right, in cases like this I believe they do. That's if you consider doing away with this POS a ring in the first place.

If the article is to be believed:

This whole family is shit.
Giant fucking shitbags.
They need real punishment, not rich folks punishment.

Or Syria.

This needs to be the punishment for rich people who think they're more entitled than regular population and break the law. Send them on a mission to try to convert ISIS members to Christianity. Once they've successfully converted 5 of them, they can come back. They cannot bring any weapons or armour.

The most likely result is that they don't come back, and we got rid of another 1%er. :p

"because they're rich"...

does that mean they are given special privileges because of status?

or does it mean they are actually paying people off?

or high priced lawyers?

If it's the latter (and I don't see how anyone can skirt the law regardless of representation), I think the rich thing is being blown out of proportion.

The "rich thing" is the entire freaking case. Have you been paying attention? The lawyer pleaded "affluenza", that because of the family's wealth the kid had no concept of the consequences of bad decisions and that he himself was a victim because children of privilege have unique emotional problems. The entire defense was "rich people are special and deserve preferential treatment". And the judge bought it.

How does it being due to high priced lawyers change anything? There was once a time where if you were poor and couldn't afford a lawyer period, you were shit out of luck. If the legal system is so complicated and full of loopholes that only a small minority of well-paid lawyers go through the effort of exploiting, it means it's biased in favor of the rich.

Pretty much a combination of all of the above I would think.

For all the things i've done in my life I end up getting treatment, they should have locked me up but I guess they are willing to work with those with higher IQ's and wealth because we end up paying more in taxes than the average person.

This whole disaster really shows how wrong the whole affluenza defense was. His parents indulging him and shielding him from anything and everything was just another reason why he needed to be locked away under heavy guard, not a reason to go easy on him so his idiot mother could escort him out of the country.

Hopefully they both end up getting hard jail time now.
