Iraq forces extend Ramadi control, rescue civilians

In a story December 29 about the detention of a Texas teen on probation for a deadly drunken-driving crash, The Associated Press reported erroneously the punishment that Ethan Couch could face if his probation is revoked.
Authorities said a Texas teenager serving probation for killing four people in a drunken-driving wreck after invoking an “affluenza” defence was in custody in Mexico, weeks after he and his mother disappeared. Couch was deported from Mexico and was flown to Los Angeles early Thursday morning.
The son, who had been held with her at a migration facility in Jalisco’s capital, Guadalajara, was transferred to Mexico City in a van that arrived early Thursday. If he violates probation, he could face up to 10 years in prison per death, Wilson said.
During Ethan Couch’s trial in juvenile courtroom over the crash in 2013, a psychologist testified on his behalf that he was stricken with “affluenza”, which means that he was so spoiled by his wealth that he couldn’t inform the distinction between proper and fallacious.
Richard Taylor is the acting U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of Texas.
The staff said the black and silver revolver was returned to the pair.
Texas prosecutors have charged Tonya Couch with hindering apprehension of a felon.
“Fred Couch has been cooperating with officials from the Tarrant County District Attorneys Office and the U.S. Marshals Service in their search for Ethan”, the statement from Lance Evans reads, according to ABC News. Her bail was set at $1 million. Tonya was deported Wednesday, and Ethan’s deportation is on the horizon.
Couch is due in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, Kim said.
Los Angles prosecutors say that won’t happen until at least next week.
Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson has said he believes the two fled in late November after a video surfaced that appears to show Couch at a party where people were drinking.
Benitez has been called a “rock star” and is the same attorney who got a U.S. Marine out of a Mexican prison previous year where he had been held for seven months. At the time, many were outraged that a judge sentenced him to probation instead of jail time, slamming his now-notorious “affluenza” defense.
Anderson noted that Ethan Couch’s hair was “markedly different”. If the teen confirms his wish to go forward with that approach, the case would go to trial, and proceedings could take months, the official said.
That official tells AP reporter Mark Stevenson that a judge has agreed to hear arguments on Couch’s appeal.
Judge Jean Boyd sentenced Couch to probation over the objections of prosecutors who asked for 20 years’ detention.
The timeline for Ethan’s return to the States is less clear, however, since it is entirely dependent on the schedule in the Mexican court that will be hearing his case.
On Aug. 10, Tonya Couch sold her 3,964-square-foot house at 1719 Burleson Retta Road in Burleson, deed records show.

Anderson said he supports the district attorney’s request to transfer Couch’s sentence from the juvenile system to the adult court system.
