| 2016-04-14 |
| [NYDAILYNEWS] the Texas teen who dodged a prison sentence for a fatal 2013 DUI crash by claiming he was too privileged to serve time, only to apparently violate his probation and flee the country two years later — must serve four consecutive 180-day jail sentences, one for each of the four people he killed in the wreck, a judge ruled Wednesday. “You’re not getting out of jail today,” Fort Worth Judge Wayne Salvant told Couch, who turned 19 on Monday. |

| #3 Nobody liked the original sentence. A year later, the judge resigned/retired. The judge gave him about the max he could, under the law. It's a start. |

| #2 Hmph. the fact that he "dodged a prison sentence...by claiming he was too privileged to serve time" shows that justice was not rendered long before this specific hearing. |

| #1 Butcher 4 people and get 2 years? The state abrogated its responsibility to render justice. The families would have had more real justice had they left him in Mexico and sought justice the old fashion way via the cartels. |
