Saw on the tele that kid killed 4 people and injured several seriously driving/crashing drunk. His defense was that his rich parents never taught him right from wrong and always bought their way out of trouble. It apparently worked because the judge gave the kid probation and a year in rehab without his Xbox. |

Yep we had a thread on that one. He wasn't a man, but that will probably be the next one who uses the excuse. |

I'm sure there is more to it than the Affluenza claim. The judge probably had aspirations for higher office and campaign contributions. |

Makes sense to me Tom. We'll get the kid hopped up on his drug flavor of the day and some Jack Daniels, place the judge in the car with him, and point the kid towards the I-35 onramp through the Dallas metro area. |

I don't think that the issue is new. The kids of wealthy people, movie stars and the like have been getting into trouble and being bailed out for years. |
