Ethan Couch will stay in juvenile custody at least until Feb. 19th hearing which could move case to adult court.

Juvenile judge Tim Menikos decides Ethan Couch will remain in juvenile detention center.

Thanks...I am so glad he will not be out and about. Now wait until next hearing...and for mom's hearing/trial. I bet mom's does not happen until after her sons...so as not to influence any decisions...JMO
 
Yes it's great that the judge didn't set him free and is keeping him locked up in juvie. :)


We could get some more great news soon...

"Judge tells Ethan Couch he will decide, probably later today, whether he goes to adult court."

"Judge also said he would consider eventually moving #EthanCouch to Tarrant Co. jail. No decision yet."

"#EthanCouch attorney says they wouldn't be able to fight that decision to transfer, should the judge make it."

Note...video is not always coming up, but you can hear the report..you may have to click on the flash player icon on their page...don't know why


Reporting....EC will stay at detention center but the Judge is still considering transferring him to adult jail, but no time frame on that decision will be made. He could be moved as soon as today or in the next few days if the Judge decides to send him to adult prison
 
I'm confused as to how he could be moved to adult jail before February or even April as he has a determinate sentence. Can anyone shed light on this ?
The prosecutor argued there is no suitable parent for Ethan which is difficult to contest when TC is on house arrest and Fred has court in March.
 
You can have all the money in the world and you can buy judges . But you cannot buy CLASS. Good lesson for all of us non billionaires. Class is free ! :)

It still requires a little work, but you're right it costs very little..
 
Just heard on WFAA broadcast news that since EC's parents weren't at the hearing his half brother, Steven & his wife were there representing the family. Supposedly TC was willing to be at the hearing but her attorneys advised her not to. Actually, I feel sorry for Stephen & his wife. They are very young to have the responsibility of taking care of crazy momma & spoiled, wicked brat. Also they have 3 children of their own. Sometimes unfortunately, we don't get to choose our own relatives.

Why is Fred going to court in March?? I looked but could not find an issue for March 2016.

EC may be sent to adult jail because of his age. Listening to TV report yesterday
(sorry no link) the reporter mentioned EC going to adult jail until his birthday. There must be some unknown to us law or loop hole where this can happen, but it must be based on age IMO.

I read somewhere that Fred has a March court date on the charge of impersonating a police officer. I believe the incident happened last year. Sorry I can't be more specific but it was on one of the many articles from our DFW area news stations. Dallasnews.com, wfaa.com, or nbcdfw.com.

IMO, this is a very interesting read about the Couch family. Many of their run-ins with the law we already knew about but this article includes even more that I've never heard of before. What a family!!


Wow! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. This family deserves each other. I was beginning to think Daddy Couch was slightly better than Mom, but not after reading this article! No wonder he feels such a sense of entitlement. They face no real consequences for their actions, and when they do they try to buy their way out of it. CHUTZPAH!!!

Fox Dallas has a small video up with some info

the reporter said the choices for today are

1) stay in juvenile detention

2) released with rules under house arrest until next hearing to "someone"

3) transferred to adult jail now

Hearing on Feb. 19 to determine if his case will be transferred to adult courts with tougher restrictions


Transfer him to adult jail now!!! He's a flight risk under house arrest and he's done no hard time for killing several people!:behindbar:behindbar:behindbar

Well, although I would've preferred adult jail, at least they didn't give him house arrest.:jail::jail:

Oh please judge... :crossfingers::please::please::please:decide that he should face adult jail for his very adult crimes and fleeing!!!
 
So we have Ethan coming back on February 19th, and "when" is Mom supposed to be in court? :waitasec:

Anyone know?

TIA! :wave:

As for his hair color, if you have enough money just about everything is available in a Mexican lockup of any kind.

I was thinking black shoe polish... :giggle:
 
I don't understand. If the judge is going to decide today where EC will be held, why didn't he do it at this morning's hearing?

Ok folks, I MAY have had a revelation that answers my own question. Suppose officials are worried about security during a transfer to adult jail? Maybe one of these mornings we will wake up & it is announced that the judge has ruled that EC goes to adult lockup & is, in fact, already there. If they move him in the middle of the night unannounced there will be no security concerns. After all, this is Texas & vigilante justice is not totally unheard of. This case IS a very emotional one.

It took a lot of searching but here it the link to a lot of info on the Couch family. The article goes in order of all the infractions, arrests, etc. that all three of the Couch's have been involved it. Good article.


Dad, Fred, impersonated an officer and does have a court date, 18 March 2016. Here is the link and also part of the article.


http://www.news-herald.com/article/HR/20160129/NEWS/160129441


Fred Couch was charged in September 2014 with falsely identifying himself as a Lakeside police officer. He told an North Richland Hills, Texas, officer responding to a disturbance that he’d witnessed, “I have my Lakeside police stuff in the truck,” according to a report. He then displayed a shield-style badge. He has a March 18 court hearing.
