Ethan Couch and his Mother�s Disgusting Move

I am baffled.� The news that the �Affluenza� teen, Ethan Couch, fled to the Mexican vacation haven of Puerto Vallarta with the help of his mother is disgusting.� Even more disgusting is the fact they had a �going away� party before fleeing.

This kid killed four people while driving drunk.� He received a slap on the wrist (i.e. probation) for killing those four people.� His excuse?� His family was so rich he did not know right from wrong.� As my high school football coach would say, �Son, that is horse sh*t.�

I am no criminal lawyer.� The in�s and out�s of the criminal consequences of Ethan Couch fleeing is not in my wheelhouse.

However, I hope and pray that the families of those killed by this cowardly family use the civil justice system to get their day in court.

In most states,�minors are insured�under one or more insurance policies issued to their parents.� In many instances, the recovery is limited only to what is available from the insurance companies.

This case looks different.� You have a family that testified as a defense in a criminal matter that they were too rich for their child to know right from wrong.� I hope the civil lawyers involved in this matter nail Ethan Couch�s family to the wall by holding them financially accountable for the four horrible deaths that he caused.

Lives were lost.� Those lives can live on by financially supporting those they leave behind.� Those monies can also be used to help ensure that this situation never happens again.

This is just my two cents.
