First of all you had no knowledge of how he was punished. There was evidence that he had been punished and was even told that if he was caught drinking again he would not be allowed to get his driving permit. There was also evidence that the parents had removed him from another gathering when they were told there was going to be alcohol consumed. Plus he was not constantly getting caught drinking. I believ there had only been 2 times in the last yar.
I assume that your testimony was considered merely hearsay because you were not in the boy's home when he was disciplined.
Also do you blame your own parents for not stopping you from drinking that night? Do you think they are somehow responsible for your behavior?
