Brekkie Wrap: Victims want 'affluenza' teen to pay; report claims Pippa Middleton is engaged Affluenza: Epidemic or epic lie? THE families of victims killed or injured by a teen who claimed "affluenza" prevented him from knowing right from wrong are now suing him for tens of millions of dollars. A Texas judge ruled that Ethan Couch, 16, should not be jailed for the deaths of four people because his rich parents never taught him about consequences. Couch had a blood alcohol reading of .24 and also had a Valium in his system after he and a group of friends stole alcohol from Walmart, drank it and then seven of them jumped in his truck on the night of June 15. Couch was 50km/h over the speed limit when he struck and killed youth pastor Brian Jennings, mother and daughter Hollie and Breanna Mitchell. A $US20 million lawsuit has already been filed and now four other civil lawsuits are pending.
