Ethan Couch’s Affluenza Defense refers to a legal argument put forth by the attorneys of Ethan Couch, a North Texas teenager who fatally injured four pedestrians while driving a pickup truck under the influence of alcohol, which placed the blame for the defendant’s reckless actions on his wealthy upbringing and ultimately allowed him to escape a jail time sentence in January 2014.
If he had actually gotten the 20 years, he would have been better off because he would have been away from his destructive family. I was an investigator for a prominent criminal lawyer and we had a client much like him who was convicted of 2nd degree murder. If you had seen how needy, manipulative, and over-controlling his mother was, you could get an idea of how parents create these monsters. Her son got 26 years in a tough prison and he actually had a better life there, because mom was out of the picture. This brat AND his parents should all be in jail.
