Wish they had charged him with drunk driving then (obviously he was), and driving without a license (underage driving) since he was 15 at most then. Maybe those people's lives would have been saved if he'd gotten a conviction then. His father seems to have wised up and divorced his mother. She is a real piece of work! Sure hope she gets a felony conviction for being a fugitive and aiding and abetting him!!! Mommy dearest, and he's not the least bit embarassed by hanging onto her purse strings. Wonder how he feels rotting in a Mexican jail without her???We are not talking about a 20 year old drinking a beer at a party, are we? In this particular case, it sure sounds like Ethan was driving in that condition (how did he get to the location he was at, with naked girl found in the truck) but because cop didn't observe him driving (instead urinating in a parking lot) he wasn't charged with drunk driving. Regardless, he plead no contest and was put on probation for consumption of alcohol. He was apparently still on probation when he drove drunk, killed 4 people, and was again put on probation. So, yes, I would like to know what gives.
Does his drinking at the strip club not count as another violation of his probation? There is proof of the drinking from all the articles regarding this incident.

There ought to be additional violations tacked on for drinking at the strip club WITH HIS MOM. :gasp:
Violating Code OMGWTF, Section Oh Hell No.
He is supposed to be in the country meeting with his probation officer. Instead he left the country and run off to Mexico. That is a violation of his probation for which they have absolute proof (he is in Mexico after all).I'm thinking, no Blood Alcohol Content measurement to show it, no proof, no infraction. And if the witnesses/waitresses, etc., are not even in this country, no witnesses. Highly-paid attorneys earn their money by keeping their clients out of these messes, and I can just hear them now. "No proof, no infraction." Even seeing him at the party before he left, how could anyone prove that he was actually drinking alcohol and not tea or lemonade? For folks such as us, it might likely be different, but who knoze? Infuriating. TMO. Grrrrrr.

The SPCA in Puerto Vallarta, where the Couches were found, has posted a lost-dog notice offering: REWARD $1000 DOG MISSING IN PUERTO VALLARTA.
The dog, which looks like a large shepherd mix or wolf hybrid, answers to the name Virgil, according to the online notice.
According to the Facebook post, the dog was lost near Colombia and Argentina streets the same intersection where the Jalisco State Prosecutors Office said the Couches were apprehended Dec. 28.
http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/...s-dog-missing-in-mexico-authorities-say.html/Rafael Mayorga, a spokesman for the Jalisco fiscal office, said that he had seen and heard reports about the missing dog but that he had no information about its whereabouts.
The dog was never in our possession, so I cannot deny or confirm that the dog was there, he said, adding that his office is looking into the matter. This is also a mystery to us.

Why can't out of country witnesses be subpoenaed? Surely some of the patrons there are Americans/English speakers, or the court can get translators. Maybe they can even Skype their testimony.I'm thinking, no Blood Alcohol Content measurement to show it, no proof, no infraction.
