A judge in Tarrant County, Texas, ruled Friday that Ethan Couch, the so-called "affluenza teen," will have his case transferred to adult court when he turns 19 in April, People confirms. Couch was 16 in 2013 when he killed four pedestrians in a drunk driving accident. His case has been in juvenile court ever since. He was spared jail time and sentenced to probation after his defense attorney used the defense that Crouch suffered from "affluenza" - an inability to understand the consequences of his actions because of his wealthy upbringing. Couch's 10-year probation sentence prohibits him from driving a car, doing drugs or drinking alcohol.
