>So after decades of MADD, PSAs on driving while intoxicated, deaths due to drunk driving - we have a judge who buys into this "affluenza" horse-crap and gives credence to the twinkie-style defense. I'm not saying this 16 year old should be locked up in prison for a full 20 years, but he should have done some jail time.
I will point out, however, that he is on 10 years probation which, if he breaks it, will land him in prison for 20 years.
