Okay, sure, let’s talk about poor young Ethan Couch’s human rights. That sounds like a great strategy for a legal team to take. And it might yet hold up in court, but wow, it’s a hell of a thing to ask the public to give a damn about.

Couch, you may recall, earned himself his own Wikipedia entry after killing four people and seriously injuring two others in a vehicular accident in 2013. After the crash, he tested at three times over the legal limit for alcohol and positive for Valium. He was 16 at the time. His defense team then cleverly brought in a psychologist who argued that he was a victim of “affluenza,” a product of a wealthy family that had “strongly enabled” a history of irresponsible acts and led him to feel “there was no rational link between behavior and consequences.” Judge Jean Boyd seemed to agree, and Couch was sentenced to rehab and probation.

His mother Tonya is back in the States, but Couch remains in Mexico with a stay of deportation
