    And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
    Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
    O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
    O'er the land of the white and the home of the rich.

    Actually OJ got off, so your comment about white isn't correct. Just rich.

    Terrible logic, because OJ then committed another crime. Being rich caused him to get away with murder, but he couldn't get away with being stupid.

    Questions: How will 'Adult probation' differ what he was on?
    Can he drink after he 21?

    If he goes back to Juvie Court . . what happens?

    Will his mom be charged? If not Why not?

    from CNN:

    http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/29/us/affluenza-teen-ethan-couch-detained-in-mexico/index.html


    ...
    But if you are expecting a judge to throw the book at him, be warned that the book might not be too heavy.

    As of now, the most severe punishment Couch could face is 120 days in adult jail, Tarrant County District Attorney Sharen Wilson said at a press conference Tuesday.

    The district attorney explained the dilemma she faces at a news conference Tuesday:

    * Ethan Couch was sentenced as a juvenile and violated his probation as ordered by juvenile court system.
    * Under Texas law, Couch, now 18, would be punished for his violation in the juvenile system.
    * The maximum sentence that a juvenile judge can dish out for a violation of his juvenile probation is imprisonment in a juvenile facility until Couch turns 19, which is April 11, 2016.
    * The DA wants to transfer Couch's sentence to adult court. But since this violation happened in the juvenile system, Couch effectively would start with a clean slate in the adult probation system. That is, the adult court judge could not punish Couch for violations he committed as a juvenile.
    * At the time a judge reassesses Couch's probation in the adult system, he has the power to put Couch in adult jail for a maximum of 120 days.

    The 120 days in jail won't please those who think Couch deserves worse, but as the facts stand now, it is what the law allows.

    If Couch ends up on adult probation, Wilson said, and violates it as an adult, he could face up to 40 years in jail. Couch could also find himself behind bars for longer if he is found to have committed any new crimes and is charged and convicted as an adult for those crimes.

    Couch and his mother, who were being sought by Texas authorities, have been detained in the Pacific resort town town of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

    Ethan Couch's mother, Tonya Couch, has been charged with hindering the apprehension of a juvenile, and if convicted, faces between 2 and 10 years in jail, Wilson said.

    Jesus. 120 days? Infuriating.

    Why even run? That's nothing.

    There was nothing to run from. He wasn't drinking in the video. His lawyer could have gotten him off. Money can't buy intelligence.

    From major's link:

    I'm betting that this is exactly what happens within a few years.

    This jack@$$ will obviously never learn his lesson. He probably thinks that life is a party and no matter what he does, he'll never get punished for it, so he keeps doing the same stupid **** over and over. He's like Manziel without the athletic ability. Throw him in big boy prison for a couple dozen years, then throw his mom in female detention for hindering apprehension and aiding and abetting since she knowingly helped this POS leave the country, which probably violates his probation anyway besides him missing his PO meeting. This whole family should be sterilized so they can't contaminate society any further.

    Yeah at this point, put him on big boy probation, no way he can go without f**king that gift up. 120 days and a clean slate, f**k that.

    What a disgrace.
