- The nineteen year old American rich man's son Ethan Couch, who drove four people dead drunk in the US state of Texas, is still in prison. The judge decided that Couch remains solid 720 days seated because he violated the terms of his release.

Couch sprang initially the dance because he was suffering from 'affluenza': he was so rich and pampered him, according to experts could not see the difference between good and evil. That's why he got no cell, but only a suspended sentence.

The case was followed when a video surfaced in which the teen alcohol seemed to drink; something that was strictly forbidden. Then Couch and his mother fled to Mexico, where they were beaten in chains after some time and extradited to the US

Couch must now still two years in jail: 180 days for each victim he ran over on his sixteenth. That's according to the newspaper Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the maximum penalty that could impose justice.
