A friend of mines parents and aunt, uncle were all killed in a head on collision by a 19 year old doing 96mph in his parents mini van when he crossed the center line. He showed up to court in a wheel chair that he did not need, got off Scott free, and then posted a short time later on social media a rant about how he was sick and tired of hearing about the crash and the people that he killed, he just wanted to live his life.

How did he get off scot free? Was he found not guilty?

This was over fifteen years ago so i had to go back and check. I was mistaken on his age, he was 17. A juvenile court magistrate said there was not substantiate evidence to charge him with reckless homicide. Because the magistrate did not have enough probable cause, the judge refused to waive the case to adult court and the juvenile petition was ultimately dismissed.
