People from the ghetto should use gheto-titis as an excuse. This ruling is a joke!
If you can't pay the fine, don't do the crime. Thankfully, job creators can.
How is this 16 year old brat, who's probably never worked a day in his life, a job creator?
This is his treatment center:

It will be a tough year, I'm sure, but somehow he'll survive.
Good lord, that's like an incentive to drink and drive.
OJ was white? Who knew.
Oh wait, the idiot OP didn't realize this was wealth privilege, not white privilege.
The families' can. Ironically the Influencesa defenses essentially admits guilt and confirms the ability to pay.
They'll run these people around in court for a decade and make it as expensive as possible before settling for less than $2M.
Not likely.
There are multiple insurance policies that could be in play. The families personal auto liability(probably $500k per incident), the families umbrella insurance(probably $3-5million, and the company's General Liability Insurance(probably around $10million)).
You can only stall a trial for so long. The insurance companies aren't going to dick around because this is an open and shut case, and if it went to trial, who knows what a jury will come back with. Thats why the will settle and not try to prolong it for more than a year or two. The monkey wrench in this situation is the company's General Liability Insurance. The carrier might want to go to court to try and get off the hook because they have the most to lose. But they aren't likely to get off, so they too may want to settle.
The family of those who died are unlikely to get that much, probably no more than $1-2million per person. Just depends, some could be less than $1million.
The expensive settlements will be for the two survivors. They have lost all future wages and each have millions in life long medical expenses, on top of the already incurred medical expenses. Each of their settlements could easily be in the $5-10million range.
A video showing people playing beer pong posted to Twitter this week allegedly features Ethan Couch, the teen whose 2013 "affluenza" defense kept him out of jail after he admitted to crashing into an SUV and killing four people after drinking. Couch's probation states he cannot drive, drink alcohol or use drugs.
A judge sentenced the then-16-year-old to 10 years' probation and required him to attend rehab after it was determined he had so-called "affluenza," a side-effect of having too much money and not enough guidance from his parents.
Look who's back, hopefully he gets a different Judge

So comparing her experience to blacks in general is fair? I guarantee I can find a case of a black person who received a similar sentence for a similar offense. Blacks probably do receive harsher punishments but an anecdote vs large statistical pool is not a proper way to understand the topic.
Please do.
Leonard Little got just 4 years probation after killing a woman while driving drunk.Please do.
