These are the repercussions.
Some douchebag tried to turn this into a class war.
I can tell you people of all income levels get off relatively scott-free after destroying lives.

This has EVERYTHING to do with BEING RICH. In America, We ARE IN A CLASS WAR!!!! The rich are getting all the freedoms and everybody else can't even afford to see a doctor when they are ill

It can't be. That would be double jeopardy. Once you are sentenced another court can't enact a stronger sentence.

What about Federal Civil Rights violations?

There will not be another criminal trial. The government created these when local authorities would not file charges.

I don't know that anyone knows the full reach and scope of that law as of yet. Let the din get loud enough and I guess we'll find out though.

If he had political connections he could have said he had a " seizure" as a reaction from OTC medicine.

That full reach and scope cannot violate previous laws, which would preclude further charges for the same crime already found guilty of.

It DOESN'T preclude however, a civil case, would technically is already won by a guilty verdict in the criminal case. His riches are in jeopardy.

This teenager will most likely end up with more crimes since he got off easy and than he will have to serve the rest of his sentence. Maybe he will go to Walmart and steal a beer...and they can catch him and put him away.

It certainly worked that way with O.J.

Got that right, money talks while the guily walk! I don't care where anyone comes from, do something so negligent and so precise by drinking, don't matter to me, who you are.

But these actions ought to come with a consequence.
