So if theres a other kind of violation here, he could be facing serious time behind bars. Reporter it all started on the night of june 15th, 2013. His bloodalcohol was three times the legal limit when he got behind the wheel of his fathers soupedup, red pickupp truck after a nightf pararing. Gunning it to 70 miles an hour, he lost control of the vehicle plowing into a group of people there. Bodies scattered hundreds of feet. 15yearold Lucas Mcconnell survived the crash. You were the sound of metal crunching, glass breaking. Glass breaking and tires screeching. The car that we were in gotot hit and we got shott across the road. Nailed the tree. The back window was commeel shattered. Lucass father pulled up to the crash scene just moments later. It was chaos. There were people lying around, injured, hurt, dead. People yelling screaming help me. The teen behind the wheel, ethan couch, walkedd away fromm that mangled truck. Once ethan couch was found, the story came together quickly.

The assistantntistrict a day after the crash. He charged ethan with everything he could, including four counts of intoxication manslaughter. He wanted the poor little rich kid to do some bigboy time. We were hoping for and asked for 20 years. But he wasried as a juvenilele during the defensee team, his defense team dropped that curious term, a influenza. The judge sentencing him to probation and time in a rehabilitation facility. The couches have settled lawsuits without admitting any wrongdoing but not before depositions were taken in one last case. Han couch. For the first time, the boy and his parents at the center of this story were forced to speak. Taken val yum, hidio code i think i tried ecstasy once. Pretty sure that was it.
