To the defense, the youth is himself a victim -- of "affluenza," according to one psychologist -- the product of wealthy, privileged parents who never set limits for the boy.

To a judge, who sentenced Couch to 10 years' probation but no jail time, he's a defendant in need of treatment.

The decision disappointed prosecutors and stunned victims' family members, who say they feel that Couch got off too easy. Prosecutors had asked for the maximum of 20 years behind bars.

"Let's face it. ... There needs to be some justice here," Eric Boyles, who lost his wife and daughter, told CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" on Wednesday night.

"For 25 weeks, I've been going through a healing process. And so when the verdict came out, I mean, my immediate reaction is -- I'm back to week 1. We have accomplished nothing here. My healing process is out the window," he said.

Lawyers for Couch, 16, had argued that the teen's parents should share part of the blame for the crash because they never set limits for the boy and gave him everything he wanted.

According to CNN affiliate WFAA, a psychologist called by the defense described Couch as a product of "affluenza."

He reportedly testified that the teen's family felt wealth bought privilege, and that Couch's life could be turned around with one to two years of treatment and no contact with his parents.

Couch was sentenced by a juvenile court judge Tuesday. If he violates the terms of his probation, he could face up to 10 years of incarceration, according to a statement from the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney's Office.

Judge Jean Boyd told the court she would not release Couch to his parents, but would work to find the teen a long-term treatment facility.

"There are absolutely no consequences for what occurred that day," said Boyles. "The primary message has to absolutely be that money and privilege can't buy justice in this country."

His wife, Hollie Boyles, and daughter, Shelby, left their home to help Breanna Mitchell, whose SUV had broken down. Brian Jennings, a youth pastor, was driving past and also stopped to help.

All four were killed when the teen's pickup plowed into the pedestrians on a road in Burleson, south of Fort Worth. Couch's vehicle also struck a parked car, which then slid into another vehicle headed in the opposite direction.

Two people riding in the bed of the teen's pickup were tossed in the crash and severely injured.

One is no longer able to move or talk because of a brain injury, while the other suffered internal injuries and broken bones.

"There is nothing the judge could have done to lessen the suffering for any of those families," said defense attorney Scott Brown, CNN affiliate KTVT reported.

"(The judge) fashioned a sentence that is going to keep Ethan under the thumb of the justice system for the next 10 years," he said. "And if Ethan doesn't do what he's supposed to do, if he has one misstep at all, then this judge, or an adult judge when he's transferred, can then incarcerate him."

Earlier on the night of the accident, June 15, Couch and some friends had stolen beer from a local Walmart. Three hours after the crash, tests showed he had a blood alcohol content of 0.24, three times the legal limit, according to the district attorney's office.

"We are disappointed by the punishment assessed but have no power under the law to change or overturn it," said Assistant District Attorney Richard Alpert. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and we regret that this outcome has added to the pain and suffering they have endured."

It is very rare, but not impossible, for prosecutors to challenge the sentence on the ground that it was too lenient, CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin said.

"To give him a pass this time given the egregious nature of his conduct -- four deaths -- is just incomprehensible," she said.

It is unfair that other young defendants without the same wealth could end up in jail for a lot less, said Hostin, of CNN's "New Day" morning show.

"I think in terms of policy, this really flies in the face of our criminal justice system," she said. "There have to be consequences to actions, and that is what our system is about, even for juveniles."

I hate boots, but now curiously browsing around for boots for the winter I find a pair I like, they are marketed as a hybrid athletic shoe/boot from the brand name Vasque. I looked for them in a couple of stores through their store locator to actually try them on to see what size I am. The stores I visited do not even have them but they are all over the internet in many e-stores in all sizes.

I am size 7.5 in sneakers, but should I buy size 8 for boots? I remember the Timberland's I bought in 2003 were size 7, when I was size 7 in sneakers, but they were TOO tight and very uncomfortable. And then in shoes I also feel that my size does not fit well, i'm like half a size more in shoes. But in sneakers i'm legit 7.5.Should I go with size 8(Medium)?

I wouldn't be asking this If can just try them on..but too bad I can't do that through E-stores. ]]> Boxing Scene Lounge -Kev- http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=621174 http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=621173&goto=newpost Fri, 13 Dec 2013 02:30:46 GMT The 8th time world champion and WBC newly ranked number 1 challenger for Floyd Mayweather Jr. (Manny Pacquiao) said that he plans to go to Mayweather's camp (US) to talk on terms and conditions to make the super fight happen.

The rest of the fights displayed the sweet science perfectly. No mindless brawling between two cavemen. HBO/SHO should take notice and produce more cards like that. That would save boxing although watching brawlers like Maidana/JMM/Pac/Canelo get exposed by skilled fighters like Bradley and Broner is fun to watch aswell.

They do not risk to fight someone that can beat them at any given day. Boxing is getting less and less popular, yes PPV plays a role in that, but also the fights aren't as exciting. I mean you can look on paper and judge if a fight is worth watching or not. If boxers aren't allowed to avoid each other, the best will always fight the best and anything can happen, which brings the excitment on a whole nother level.

The best example of this is Floyd Mayweather. He is looking for the easiest route to win a fight and make money. He is not risking.

NO, floyd isn't the only one out there, but since he is so well known (today he's probably one of the only active boxers that the averaje joe knows) he's my example, because he represents what I'm trying to say.
