It doesn’t look like “affluenza” teen Ethan Couch will be returning to the U-S anytime soon. We are uncertain how long the legal process in Mexico will take or how it will ultimately be resolved.

The reduced minutes gives Bryant a chance at meeting his goal as he didn’t play in the fourth quarter with the game out of hand. Charlotte shot 48.3% (43-89) from the field and 24% (6-25) from three.
Eisenman says Couch will be held until US marshals arrive to take her to Texas, where she and her son, 18-year-old Ethan Couch, live and where he was on probation for the 2013 crash.
Couch was both mocked and condemned after successfully using an “affluenza” defense during his criminal trial, in which an expert proposed that his indulgent childhood and pampered upbringing in a wealthy family had stripped him of the ability to tell right from wrong.
Such cases can take anywhere from two weeks to several months, depending on the priorities of the local courts and the actions of defense attorneys, said Richard Hunter, chief deputy for the U.S. Marshals Service in South Texas.
She and her Mexican guards will land in Los Angeles.
His attorneys in the US said in a statement Wednesday that they couldn’t comment on the case because they weren’t licensed to practice law in Mexico.
The drunk driving teen who killed four and got off with probation was finally caught in Mexico just days ago, to the joy of the internet.
Anderson said he supports the district attorney’s request to transfer Couch’s sentence from the juvenile system to the adult court system.
Authorities say the 18-year-old Couch, who used “affluenza” as a defense in a fatal drunken-driving wreck in Texas in 2013, fled with his mother to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, as prosecutors investigated whether he had violated his probation. “And it seems to me, if they wanted to, they could pay them as much money as they want to drag this thing out”, Hunter said.
Ethan Couch is still being held in a Mexican lockup after filing a writ of amparo, which sends the case to immigration court.
Couch became the subject of a manhunt and was listed in the National Fugitive Database on December 11, 2015, after his probation officer was unable to contact him. As a result, the adult court judge could not punish Couch for violations he committed as a juvenile.
Ethan Couch is serving 10 years on probation for killing four people and injuring several others in a 2013 drunken driving crash in southern Tarrant County. The Texas teenage fugitive and his mother attempted to disguise themselves and disappear among the American tourists who flocked to a Mexican resort city for the holidays, but are now in custody and set for deportation to the US, authorities said Tuesday. The terms don’t expire until he turns 19 in April.
Three hours after the crash, tests showed Couch had a blood alcohol content of 0.24, three times the legal limit, prosecutors said.
The two were asked during the “encounter” with Mexican immigration officials if they were Mexican citizens.

Anderson said it appears the two planned their disappearance, held something of a going-away party, and drove a pickup truck to Mexico. She said there was daily name-calling, that he often grabbed her by the hair and that he once “threw her into a fireplace”.
