Someone told me about this Friday; but, I only came across the actual article today.
Yahoo - Good Morning America - Victims' Family Speaks Out Against Sentencing in 'Affluenza' Case
Basically, some wealthy kid got very drunk and drove his fathers car into another car killing four people. He was tried, found guilty and sentenced to probation. The reason he didn't go to jail was supposedly that he grew up wealthy so he didn't know how to be responsible. He was too affluent to know any better. Now to be fair, he won't be able to see his parents for two years because he will be away at a $450,000 a year treatment facility. So, his prison will be like being at a private club med facility.
A couple of years back our Governor Mr. Schwarzenegger pardoned a young man for murder because he was the son of a politically important person. Schwarzenegger said that it was the type of thing you do for a friend. We later found out that he also slept with his made and had a child with her. Thats the kind of thing you do when you are privileged.
