You'll assume the perspective of a criminal defense attorney who's been asked to consult on two real, high-profile cases:
The State of Texas v. Ethan Couch and The State of Texas v. Eric Miller.
Both cases took place in Texas and involve a teenager who drove while impaired and caused a fatal car crash. However, the outcomes were vastly different: Ethan Couch was given probation, while Eric Miller was sentenced to 20 years behind bars. District Judge Jean Boyd delivered both sentences.
You'll then write a 350- to 500 -word essay that includes all of the required discussion points listed in the Instructions section.
