The Dad knew, he joked with them, he knew there was two 30 packs and vodka there and counting the number of kids being no more than 20. Well you do the math. He didn't take the keys of any drivers. Those 4 boys left his house intoxicated after all the alcohol ran out, got into a car accident and 2 died.
How is this not automatic involuntary manslaughter? If this Dad doesn't get jail time and the boy does, I will completely have given up on our judicial system.
