Not with this judge .
Not with this judge what?
Not with this judge .
White juveniles from good homes are to be rehabilitated.
Black juveniles from broken homes, not so much.
II also have to wonder if the judge received any fat checks to buy such a bull**** defense.
White juveniles from good homes are to be rehabilitated.

There is no societal guarantee that this Piece of Rich garbage will ever be rehabilitated,
given his and his ****head Father's lack of remorse..
This "kid" will get breaks the rest of his life, since money talks and the middle-class goes to jail .
That is just so untrue.Now. Don't throw rocks at me. But had the victims been black? The marching and chanting in the streets would have been deafening. And that sentence would NEVER have been handed down. Perhaps that's what it often takes for money to lose.
IMO, this judge should be censured and/or removed from the bench.
If this had been a 16-year-old black boy, they'd have thrown away the key. Wrong-Wrong-Wrong.
do you think skin color really matters as much as money and influence? If this was Obama's kid he would likely receive the same treatment, and if it was some poor piece of backwoods trash they would face multiple years sentenced as an adult.
You must be looking into a mirror.On the bright side this thread has determined who should never be listened to about anything, ever, ever, ever, ever.
..., I'm looking at you.
That is just so untrue.
Damn folks, just damn.
Are you all really not paying attention?
Just because the defense called a psychologist who described Couch as a product of "affluenza" doesn't mean that was what was bought by the Judge.
And based on a previous similar sentence, not even considered.
Juvenile courts are there for reform of the individual, not punishment.
This Judge is a Juvenile Court Judge who hands down such sentences regardless of the argument, skin color, or family wealth.
If she had given the kid a twenty year sentence he would have been out in 2 years.
The probation sentence she gave him, instead keeps him under the Governments thumb for ten years. And Probation is not some cakewalk. If he screws up he will be doing the remaining of those ten years.
Now to these absurd skin color and wealth claims.
They are just bs.
This Judge, in 2012, was sentencing a 14 year old African-American who killed someone while playing the knockout game and who had never expressed remorse for the murder (which is an intentional act of harm, unlike the accident in this case). The Judge wanted to sentence him to the same type of rehab treatment, but couldn't because no facility would take him.
Still, Gregory’s mother, Anita Lauterbach, said she remembers the judge pushing for rehabilitation, much like the Couch case.
"She wanted to send him to one of these special places in Arizona, but no one would take him," Lauterbach said. "We were horrified. We just couldn't believe it. The district attorney and I were just sitting on pins and needles. But, when nobody would take him, [it was] a sigh of relief."
[...]
The violent aspect was likely why the 14 year old wasn't accepted into a treatment program, said Jamison Monroe, founder and CEO of Newport Academy in California.
Sentence given to teen in deadly drunk driving crash spurs backlash | wfaa.com Dallas - Fort Worth
Black and not wealthy. Same type of sentence she wanted to impose.
Stop with the bs assertions of race and wealth being factors in either way.
Yeah, I heard about this. It's sickening.
The irony is that this happened in Texas. I thought they executed assholes like this in Texas.
However, we all know that money buys your way out of murder. Ask OJ.
Teenagers, who actually commit murder get probation all the time. This isn't a huge shock.
This is a travesty of justice. He should have been tried as an adult and recieved an adult sentence. My heart goes out to the families of the 4 deceased victims and the 11 people who were injured.
Er, no. Teens who commit murder and get probation generally have rich daddies in conservative states.
So, you're response is just another dose a bigotry?
False again. Bigotry entails false generalizations, whereas the plutocratic nature of red-state America is a documented fact.
Oh! False generalizations?...LOL!!! I'll remember that!
BTW, if it's not too much trouble...could you post some evidence to prove that it's not a false generalization? thaaaanks!!
You want me to post evidence that red state America is more plutocratic? ?
I want you to prove that your comment isn't a false generalization. Shouldn't be hard...eh?
It's not. There are about 600,000,000 pieces of evidence. So I'm wondering how much I should post. This forum has citation limits, after all.
600 million?...LOL!!
Yes, the figure was too small. There are orders of magnitude more.
My point is that when dealing w/that kind of evidence, you need to specify a reasonable number (i. e. 1-10)--how many citations do you want?
You don't have anything...just admit it and stop wasting everyone's time.
Er, you are the one wasting my time--it's not reasonable to post the entire cache of evidence here. Either specify a number (citation count), or don't ask.
Either be prepared to back up your comments, or don't make them.
:naughtyThe fact that she wanted to send a black kid who murdered someone playing a knockout game to rehab is proof of only one thing: the judge needs to be removed from the bench.
One, your statement is that which comes from a wild imagination.While in the ethan couch case, [...] but then given a light sentence by a judge who was most likely bribed in some fashion, a typical practice in red states where voters are generally too stupid to elect competent officials (i. e. judges).
:doh
And?
The defense can say what ever they want.
It doesn't mean the Judge considered it.
The Judge not using it in her decision says that is not what happened here.
Or do you not understand these things?
The previous case brought up where she considered the same type of treatment sentence, also shows it wasn't a consideration.
Not really a defense.Still, its still an extremely pompous defense.
