And now the mom and killer are reportedly fighting extradition. Good luck with that one.

Ethan Couch and his mother, Tonya Couch, filed a “legal writ” to remain in Mexico after being caught in a resort town south of the border this week, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Wednesday morning. The pair, who had been on the run for several weeks after it appeared Ethan may have violated his parole, had been set to be shipped back to Texas on Wednesday night.

“They’re trying to fight being brought back somehow,” Sheriff Dee Anderson said. “It’s just a continuing string of what we’ve seen all along. We’re patient people. We’ll be waiting.”
