Driver in Drunken Crash Sentenced; a Lesson in Fact Checking; Chanel Show
|

Teen in Drunken Crash That Killed Four Gets Probation. The families of the four people killed during a drunken crash aren’t happy with the driver’s sentence. Ethan Couch, 16, was driving with a blood-alcohol level three times the legal limit the night of the crash in June. He was given 10 years of probation and time in a rehab facility. The one that’s currently being considered is a $1,200-a-day facility that Couch’s dad said he’d pay for.

Fact Checking is Important. Listen, I know mistakes happen. There is nothing worse than being told that you got something wrong. So I feel for those who were in charge of the new historical marker in front of the Texas Theatre.  The marker states that Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested at the theater for JFK’s assassination, when, in fact, he was arrested for shooting officer JD Tippit. It’s going to cost $1,600 to fix this error.
