34. And What of the Judge?

Fri Dec 13, 2013, 12:36 PM

Dec 2013

If the killer was not responsible for his actions because he suffered from "affluenza",
then what about the presiding judge, Jean Boyd, who failed to sentence him to a single day in prison?

Does she have a case of "cerebral vacuosis"?

Let her know what you think. Judge Boyd can be reached at -

2701 Kimbo Road
Fort Worth, TX 76111
(817) 838-4600
Fax: (817) 884-4633

Her e-mail appears to go through an assistant -

sbrown@tarrantcounty.com

And where is the press in this affair? Can't we learn something about
Judge Boyd? Who are her friends? Political associates? Campaign contributors?

What is her record like? Do all youths who come before her get off Scott free?

A fair sentence for Ethan Couch would involve a minimum of 2 years prison. sharing a cell
with both of his parents.
