The kid's blood alcohol was 2.4. It wasn't an "accident"; it was vehicular homicide.
He got drunk, slaughtered a bunch of pedestrians, maimed a bunch of other folks, and basically walked away, scot-free. But he was rich and white, so it's all good. :roll:
I wouldn't go as far as saying that race played a role here but I'd definitely say political influence did. If this kid were some white trash trailer park dweller, this judge wouldn't have thought twice about sending him to the slammer for a few years.
