Ethan Couch’s attorneys said in a statement obtained by News 8 Wednesday said that the teen would stay in Mexico “until the Mexican Federal Judge ascertains whether or not Ethan’s rights are, or potentially will be, violated”.

Carson’s outsider status seemed to give him an advantage in the 2016 race. But Bennett, a longtime political operative, predicted more departures.
The son of millionaire parents made headlines during his trial when a psychologist testifying on his behalf claimed he suffered from “affluenza”.
“I don’t think you go on a vacation and disappear, and don’t tell anybody, and cut your hair and dye your hair, and hide out in a shabby apartment in a resort town….”
The mother of a Texas teenager known for using an “affluenza” defense in a fatal drunken-driving accident has been deported back to the USA, according to the Associated Press. Texas prosecutors have said that Couch will be charged for assisting her son’s flight from authorities, and CNN reports that she could face between 2 and 10 years in prison.
Couch and his mother fled the United States earlier this month after a video surfaced online apparently showing Ethan Couch at a party where beer was being consumed.
A U.S. Marshals spokesman said he could not reveal any details about her trip through California, citing security concerns in transporting someone in custody. They fled there after officials in Tarrant County, Texas, began an investigation into whether Ethan violated the probation deal that kept him out of prison after he killed four people with his pickup truck in 2013. Ethan Couch, 18, and his mother, Tonya Couch, 48, were captured in the Mexican Pacific Coast city of Puerto Vallarta on Monday.
“He is obviously trying to delay his return to the United States”, another Mexican migration official said on condition of anonymity, adding that Couch has little chance of avoiding deportation.
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.
The Marshals Service alerted Mexican authorities, who detained Couch and his mother, the official said. Hunter said amparo cases typically take two weeks to two months.
“It also depends on the fact the Couches have legal counsel”. “We’re hopeful that’s not the case”. Ethan Couch got ten years of probation, during which time the still underaged Couch must stay away from drugs and alcohol. Couch was moved because the Mexico City facility for detaining migrants is larger and better equipped to hold someone for days or weeks.
While Tonya was on her way back to the U.S., Ethan was still behind bars in Mexico. It wasn’t immediately clear which attorneys were handling the case in Mexico.
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 condition is not recognized as a medical diagnosis by the American Psychiatric Association, and its invocation during the legal proceedings drew ridicule.

Couch pleaded guilty to intoxication manslaughter. If the judge declines to transfer Couch to adult court, Wilson plans to request that his probation be revoked, in which case he could be held in a juvenile facility until his sentence expires when he turns 19 next April.

He and his mother were tracked by a phone to a condominium complex in Puerto Vallarta’s old town when it was used to order delivery from Domino’s Pizza, according to a police report issued by the Jalisco state prosecutors’ office. The Couches then moved to an apartment, and the agents set up a surveillance operation in the surrounding streets.
