Affluenza Teen drops appeal of deportation from Mexico


http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/affluenza-teen-ethan-couch-drops-appeal-returning-u-s-n505036

Ethan Couch, the Texas teen who used an "affluenza" defense in a fatal drunk driving accident, has officially dropped his appeal against deportation, his Mexican attorney said.

"I believe (Ethan) is relieved to be coming back," Fernando Benitez told NBC News. "I think he has come to terms with this."

Couch's extradition could happen as early as Wednesday.

"He decided that he would much rather face American justice than drag it out here in Mexico," Benitez said.

Apparently Mexico isn't a lot of fun when you can't hit the beach and bars.
