In the now famous case where his lawyers came up with the "Affluenza" defense saying he was too rich and pampered his entire life and didn't understand consequences for his actions he was given probation by the judge that headed the trial.
If I remember right they bribed the judge (can't prove the payoff but she could afford to retire shortly afterward).

That judge caught a ton a flack for that judgement and there was a petition to have her removed from the bench after that horrendous verdict and light punishment.
She had previously sentenced a young man to 20 years for killing 1 person in a vehicular accident where he was at fault. His mother was a drug addict and he was being raised by his grandfather.
People were pissed that she handed down 10 years probation and a requirement of treatment for drug and alcohol abuse. That raised a lot of eyebrows
She did retire within a year of the trial in 2014.
