Ethan Couch, the affluenza teen was sentenced to nearly two years in jail Wednesday, 180 days for each parole violation relating to a 2013 drunken driving crash that killed four people. But the judge also said he would hear arguments in two weeks to determine if he should reconsider the sentence. During Couch’s 2013 trial concerning the four deaths, a witness testified he didn’t know right from wrong due his wealthy upbringing, hence dubbing Couch the affluenza teen. After being released on probation, a video was brought to officials attention that appeared to show someone who looks like Couch at a beer-pong party. Couch and his mother fled to Mexico but were found by authorities and returned to the U.S. Couch has been in jail since his return. “I do believe Ethan Couch is not the same person he was when he came to jail,” a jail official told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram . “This time he’s spent, it’s a rude awakening for anyone.”
