‘Affluenza’ teen could head to adult court

A judge in Fort Worth, Texas, will decide whether the teen that caused a fatal drunken-driving crash will have his case transferred to an adult system.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A judge in Fort Worth, Texas, will decide whether the teen that caused a fatal drunken-driving crash will have his case transferred to an adult system.

Ethan Couch was given probation for killing four people, after his attorney argued that he had been coddled by his parents and suffered from "affluenza."

Couch will appear in court today for a hearing.
