Ryan LeVin Pleads Guilty to Deadly Hit and Run, Pays Settlement, Gets House Arrest (Updated)
By Victoria Bekiempis, Fri., Jun. 3 2011 at 3:13 PM

​Ryan LeVin, the hard-partying, bad-boy scion of an Illinois costume jewelry company, came clean to a judge today, admitting that he mowed down two British tourists in 2009 and fled the scene in his Porsche.

LeVin's punishment: He got grounded.

Judge Barbara McCarthy decided to throw the book at LeVin slap the Patrick Bateman lookalike on the wrists, giving him two years house arrest,
ten years' probation, and 1,000 hours of community service, not prison time.

That deal seems to have come about because LeVin paid off the victims' families...

1. More evidence that we are no longer a nation of law...

there is one justice system for those who can pay. There is a completely different system for those who have no money.

We have the best justice system money can buy. If you have the money, you can buy what ever "justice" you need.

2. So, "blood money" now counts as restitution?

What is this, the return of the Dark Ages?
