I was just thinking back to that night Jenny supposedly slept at the truck stop/store. I am pretty sure she didn't get a good nights sleep and was not as sharp if she would have gotten a good nights rest... so she prob. made some bad decisions to make it to Cancun on time. Just my humble opinion

Pure speculation only, Jenny might have been operating on very little sleep due to a mania state. The descriptions of her behavior and choices lead me to believe this could very well have been the case. Again, this is just speculation, but seems plausible.
With regard to some of the posts upstream, yes...Mexico law just seems to operate in a very different way that what we (if you are in the US) are used to. I remember one incident a few years back where I was a passenger in a car that was hit from behind. It was the result of the driver attempting to merge in to traffic (as we were) and they hit us. In less than a minute (literally), there were three police vehicles with officials armed with automatic rifles surrounding us. To say I was petrified would be an understatement. I was frozen with fear. The bumper on our car was hanging off, but we were otherwise o.k. To the best of my understanding, it was expected that the fellow that hit us was expected to give us money right there on the spot. He was unable to do so, and was hauled off to jail until his family could pay someone money.
We were free to go, and happily did so, asking no further questions and not caring about the bumper. It's just a different way of operating.
By way of example, I was traveling through Vietnam on a bus that hit someone on a scooter. The person on the scooter was hurt but not mortally. The bus driver took off running and left all of us on the bus without a driver! I was told in Vietnam that the family of the scooter driver would arrive and literally beat the driver to death for hurting their loved one. Whether this is true or not, I have no idea, but I have been told by more than one credible person that this is accurate.
So the point I am trying to illustrate is that JT is most definitely dealing with a different set of rules. Thus far, he's been doing a pretty darn good job navigating thorugh all this, and I consider him very, very brave.
