AFFLUENZA: Real Problem, Unreal Excuse for Manslaughter!

from Dr. Carole's Couch · host Dr. Carole Lieberman

What was Judge Jean Boyd thinking when she sentenced 16-year-old Ethan Couch to 10 years probation and confinement in a luxurious rehab center instead of 20 years' confinement in prison? Affluenza is a real problem, it's just not a good enough excuse for manslaughter by a teen whose drunken joyride ended in the killing of 4 innocent people! Today's guest, James D'Amico, the author of The Affluenza Antidote, has had a 35-year-career as a wealth manager, advising affluent families. He has tried to prevent kids from turning into spoiled brats who make deadly mistakes. What was expert witness psychologist G. Dick Miller thinking when he provided testimony to help a rich kid get off scott free? Dr. Carole will answer this question based upon her years of experience as a forensic psychiatrist/expert witness in hundreds of civil and criminal cases.
