Finally it has happened...a case where it is on the record that being a spoiled rich kid will in fact get you less punishment. Citing "Affluenza" (a term actually presented as a condition by some psychobabble assclown who likely got paid 6-7 figures to do so) a rich kid who killed 4 pedestrians after he drank beer he stole and rammed into pedestrians basically got probation for being a spoiled rich kid. Rejoice America...your justice system has finally jumped the shark.

Not a lawyer but doesn't this set up the parents to get bankrupted in civil court since the criminal court basically said it was their fault? Couldn't the parents be put on trial as well.
