serve more time then he is.

I just can't even.

The Struggle Is Real, the poor dear.

every inmate will know the guy is rich and their lawyers and commissary, ain't going to pay their selves.

I imagine the other prisoners will make his life a living hell and the guards won't put up with any crap from the kid.

He is another George Zimmerman type. He is incabpable of being rehabilitated and will only continue to keep getting into trouble. He will not be able to avoid serious jail/prison time forever. It is only a matter of time before his luck runs out.

Mom needs to experience some serious prison time and not in a cushy facility. She won't have a fun time either.

I don't understand why this family has not been bankrupt by now with civil suits from the victims' families.

I would have loved to see the prosecutors go after Mom and Dad for the deaths and injuries to their son's victims. If the defense was going to put the blame on the parents for the way they raised their son then they should have had to face negligent homicide charges. A rational person would know that giving a drunk person access to a car can have bad consequences and that was exactly what they did. They can't claim ignorence because that accident was not the first run in the law that their son had with drinking and driving. The first incident put them on notice and they failed to act in a responsible manner.

By the way, I imagine that there was alcholhol involved in their little going away party. Another parole violation.

And where the heck is Dad during all of this? If they can prove that Dad was in contact with his wife and son during their little escapade, he should be looking at charges for aiding and abetting them as well.

The cure for this condition is to show the brat that there are consequences THEY will have to pay! All he learned is that the rules don't apply to him!

....and then the penalty will be much higher. There are also a few additional charges that they're sorting out, things like violating probation, unlawfully leaving the country, etc. And his mother has a slew of charges facing her, too.

As they said yesterday, he's facing time in "big boy prison".

to see if they can find any evidence that he helped them or communicated with them in any way.

It would be nice to see if they can find grounds to charge the father so that he can spend time in jail as well.

The parents can only continue to try to protect their brat as long as they hae the funds to do so. The parents need to learn that actions have consequences and jail time and draining their financial resources would be a good start.

The problem with this whole family is that none of them have yet to face the consequences of their actions.

So what if the kid had dysfunctional parents. He is hardly the only kid in that situation and most other kids wouldn't get a free pass from the judicial system because they aren't from rich families.

From the get go this case was a shining example of how bad our judicial system is. Not unusual that this happened in Texas where they have been making movies about bad judges since the oater days.
This whole family and their lawyers included should have been raked over the coals. The boy killed 4 people and his defense was that he was raised poorly.
It will be a good day when this brat and his "affluent" mom finally receiving some justice.

Why were the police after them?

He missed a mandatory appointment with his parole officer. That put him in violation of his parole resulted in a warrant.

She was aiding in his flight and evasion, which is a felony.

The mexican gov't is claiming they entered the country illegally (they didn't register with their real names), so they are simply deporting them (not an extradition apparently).

"so they are simply deporting them (not an extradition apparently)"

Great solution!

...but using their cell phone from home is even more affluensive.

Carlos Slim made Billions selling Trac Phones and they're available just about everywhere in Mexico. For ten bucks or less, they could have avoided detection. Just use it for a few days and give it to some hooker, or throw it on a truck going elsewhere.

tail, especially if momma gets sentenced to two to ten!

And I hope she is.

My family has endured a situation similar to this. There were fewer victims, but even one is too many.

Bad taste on top of everything else.

Our first day in PV my boyfriend and I ran in to a group of ladies on a "girl's weekend" away from their husbands. We all proceeded to get shitfaced drunk at the pool. After drinking all day and no food, I had had enough and went upstairs when the "party" migrated to the ocean. I tried to order room service. Much to my dismay, it was too late for room service so I cracked open a telephone book and ordered Dominos.

Let me clear, I fucking HATE Dominos pizza. I don't know how they stay in business in a city like Chicago where I live.

Any who, the boyfriend and our new friends get asked to politely exit the ocean as they are too "boracho" and the security is worried for their safety. For the best to be sure. The boyfriend comes upstairs and finds me and a Dominos pizza. He asks me how the fuck I managed this.

We spent the next day in the sauna trying to sweat out wicked hangovers.

We still laugh at it to this day. Two gay guys and the crazy out of control wives on a bender. And crappy Dominos in Mexico.

break a term of probation and then flee the country makes it worse.

into getting rid of their cell phones. The tracking is more useful than calling them and telling them to turn themselves in.

Just how stupid is that family?

I read that daddy makes millions in the sheet metal industry. That the minor sonny had his own mansion. That momsy always took care of all his problems by buying him out of them.

There is something seriously wrong with them. Pity they get to kill people and put others at risk.

That actually might be worse than jail.





Doesn't excuse him, of course. I'm just making a point about how the people who serve rich tourists at the resorts live.

I looked up the range of punishment for intoxication manslaughter in Texas.
It's a 2nd degree felony with a range of 2 to 20 years prison and a $10,000 fine.
Technically, since he killed four people, he could have gotten 80 years hard time in the cooler and a $40,000 fine.

The judge reduced it to a third degree felony, which is 2 to 10 and a $10,000 fine.
You cannot get probation for more than ten years.


Ten years probation is a slap on the wrist. They yank his probation, and if they can get him in the adult system, then he would probably serve the full ten years. I wish they could resentence him to the max.
