Because Judges have nothing better to do

Check this one out. Kinda blows your mind.

A District Judges daughter in Houston Texas rammed into the back end of a delivery truck while she was at least 3 sheets to the wind. (Blood alcohol content over THREE times the legal limit on 2 separate tests (she was a judges daughter, the cops were smart enough to test twice))
In the accident she killed her boyfriend and smashed up mommy's Lexus.

Get this: She got 4 months in jail and a bunch of probation. Not bad being a judges daughter in Texas, no? 4 months for manslaughter. I'll bet not a lot of Texans enjoy that kind of leniency.

But that isn't even why I'm sharing this story with you, oh no.
Now, SHE IS SUING THE TRUCK DRIVER!!!
She wants $20k for the destruction of the Lexus and whatever the judge or jury might give her for mental anguish.
Not only is she helping to clog up the court system in Texas, she's doing it in grand style. She has listed 16 defendents, including insurance companies and banks. Because, you know, I'm sure the bank has a lot to say about the accident. Basically, they've called all the defendants they could to see if anything will get her her way. Because, she is quite obviously getting her way.

I hope daddy puts a breathalyzer ignition in the new Lexus he buys her. I wouldn't want her killing and suing anyone else.

ADDENDUM
While I was hoping the father was embarassed of his off the hook and ridiculously spoiled daughter, I've been proven wrong. (after all, how else would she be so spoiled?)
Her blood alcohol content tests was 26 and 28 percent.
He's in the court room acting all a fool on behalf of his daughter. They've gotten expert witnesses on their side, they accused the man that helped the daughter out of the accident of being an illegal alien, they're doing their best to make this a 3 ring circus. The mother cries of the inhumane way the cops arrested her. They went and STOLE THE BLACK BOX from the Lexus before it could be used in court.
Defense expert says deadly crash was unavoidable(fr)
The father has said: the intoxication of his daughter at the scene of the accident makes no difference. He also said that no one is above the law. Well, except for his daughter.

If you read just one article about this fucked up case READ THIS ARTICLE HERE: (its by a blogging lawyer in Texas and is very well written and sums it all up nice and neat)
Frivolous Conflicted Representation. Where Else but Harris County?(dp)

This lawyer points out: If the estate of the dead guy wanted to sue someone for the death, they have an open and shut case against the daughter that has been convicted of his murder. Instead, they join forces with the daughter to sue the truck driver.

The lawyer pursuing the case: On 3 separate occasions he's been suspended from practicing law and has been publicly reprimanded twice. He currently represents the family of the dead guy AND the girl convicted of killing him, at the same time.
He was also appointed to his judge job by the father of the girl that began the whole thing by drinking and driving.
