wow

Wow

is that a joke?

Not surprised at all.

After Stallworth, I guess we shouldn't be. Sad.

Not surprised at all.

The mother of the guy who died forgave Brent for what happened.

Ya, wasn't the guy who was killed hammered too? If I recall correctly, she just accepted her son was just as much at fault as Brent was and probably would have died if he had driven instead or something like that.

180 is still pretty damn light though.

I wonder if Brown's mother had anything to do with the light sentence. I remember reading somewhere that Brent was like another son to her due to him and Brown being so close.

This.

Jerry Brown's mother sat with the Brent family and even took the stand for Brent. You can't give him a huge sentence when the dead's mother is that supportive of him

I just gained a TON of respect for her.

That takes a lot of love.

Prosecutors are pushing for prison time for Brent, who went to trial only weeks after another Texas intoxication manslaughter case sparked widespread public outrage. In that case, a defense expert argued that the defendant, a 17-year-old boy who caused a drunken crash that killed four people, deserved leniency because his parents coddled him into a sense of irresponsibility - a condition the expert termed "affluenza." The teen wasn't given prison time.
