Texas: money talks and dui walks...

No surprise that this was in Texas: teenager with wealthy parents
walks with 10 years probation after conviction for dui in the deaths
of four people.

You can bet that someone who was middle or lower class (i.e. works for
a living) and/or is black would have gotten 10 years in prison for the
same offense. The sooner we give TX back to Mexico, the batter.

That was on the news last night. Defense main argument boiled down to "He was too rich to know right from wrong".

It won't be the last time we hear about this spoiled brat.

If we actually prosecuted based on the effect rather than the perceived
cause, then the punishment would be a lot more consistent. I honestly
don't care if the driver was under the influence of alcohol or whether
they were reaching down to pick something up from the passenger
floorboard. If they end up killing 4 people because of that, the
punishment should be based on the result (4 people dead) rather than the
cause (DUI or inattentive driving).
