Wealthy Texas teen runs over & kills 4 people while intoxicated, only gets probation.

Yes a month or so before that same judge put some kid in jail for 25 years for repeatedly punching someone to their death and lets this kid off? BULLSHIT

 

I was about to put that. Would be a very common occurrence

 

double jeopardy?

 

I got more consequences when I got my drunk driving in 2002, and I didn't damage anyone's property or hurt/kill another person..WTF

 

this..

 

Looks like the DA is afraid of not being reelected after accepting this plea he wants the other charges to carry jail time.

While it sounds nice, there is a reason this can not be done.

Our Constitution prohibits double jeopardy. Once you have been tried for a crime, you can not be tried again for the same crime.
You can be tried on a different charge, such as the Rodney King cops tried under California law, then tried on Federal civil rights violations, but done is done... unfortunately in some cases, and the fact that, legally, OJ could stand on the steps of the White House and announce that he DID kill Ron and Nicole and there is nothing that could be done legally....

...but it protects us from a prosecutor retrying the case over and over until he finds a jury that will convict.

IMHO, a plea deal should not trigger double jeopardy.

 

Judge and DA suffer from Assfluenza.

 

Maybe he will get hit by a car

 

K...this kid kills 4, severely injures two more(one paralyzed), and injures some of the 7 kids riding in his truck.

He has a drivers license. He knows the difference between right and wrong. This twirp deserves life in prison, or the needle in his arm.

 

Well everyone carries a gun in Texas I would watchout if I was him because their families are very upset, rightfully so.

 

It slike people who have 10 dui's and they STILL have their license

I hope he goes to jail and gets butt fucked so hard, his mother feels it in her cooch. And when she asks what the pain is, she comes to the conclusion it's god telling her she should of had an abortion .

 

Make him the permanent caretaker of the friend he paralyzed. Feed, bathe, wipe, carry him on his back everyday for the rest of his life.

 

I thought Texas was supposed to be all hard-ass on people who commit crimes there, especially murderers...oh whoops, I mean people that commit intoxication manslaughter.

 

Im a death penalty fan, or put their asses to work while in prison.

 

Murder is right..


He's getting off with a Canadian style sentence. You can literally get away with murder here.

 

Didn't you guys get rid of the death penalty in the 1980's?

 

HELL NO

 

Only to minorities. They are a soulless, they like their redheads.

 

No idea. Don't have it for sure though.

Also don't have any other punishment. Murder someone, get 4 months in a comfy jail cell with a tv. Live off the gov for a bit. Drunk drive and kill someone here? Get slapped with a small fine!
