Evelyn Mezzich: Fuguitve from justice

Wow. She already deleted her Myspace. That was quick.

Does anyone have a link to her myspace page? thanks.

Margus…I'm sure she MIGHT feel bad, but does that justify it? A person is DEAD and another is PARALYZED; I really don't think feeling bad about it is justice.

Christ…

Huh? What do you mean? I'm a college student from OK that frequents the site but rarely posts. Is that what you mean…?

Why would you spend your time arguing about something you don't even know about? It is hard on everyone involved. You don't even live in Austin, or Texas or even know anyone involved? You are hearing one side of a story.

Marqus I just don't think you understand the gravity of Evelyn's actions. a genuinely good person doesn't jump bail or flee the country when they accidentally kill one of their friends through their own illegal actions. Sure it was a stupid mistake that turned into a tragedy. That doesn't make her any less responsible.

I cannot find within myself any empathy for this young woman. She killed someone and then fled the country to avoid the consequences of that. I can't bring myself to characterize anyone who would do such a thing as "good"

I just read your bio, this whole site doesn't seem to be about justice, it's sounds more like it's about your popularity and persona. If you were genuinely interested in justice I could take this site seriously but you are just some wanabee journalist. Good luck, I hope your fame comes soon!

No, I'm not from TX, obviously. I care about justice, though, and it was not served. I'm sure the woman feels bad, but, AGAIN, feeling bad is NOT a suffice punishment. Thinking it is is ridiculous. What if it were somone you cared about that was paralyzed or killed? You're opinion would change DRASTICALLY.

My comments made at 12:59 & 12:57 contain the My If you are repulsed, these venues offer more power with the ability to garner her extradition back to Lima Peru's sister city, Austin Texas. The news that has garnered over 200 comments hit the international news pool, over 8 hours ago, and this is what I personally posted to her page on My Space:

I am sure Chris was not aware you had this drama in your background. What can you do say when the world knows what you did? And the fact you post these gleeful images of your fake life and all know you fled with the help of your parents, what can you offer as an explanation? It is so sad to see that one who had enough cunning, had their life in front of them opted to run and not act as an adult and accept responsibility for their actions.

Why did you take the easy way out? That shows your lack of depth, your selfishness and what can you say now that the world knows, you are being used in international politics while Lima Peru is a sister city to Austin TX, your college town! Did you graduate from UT? What a tainted legacy this new child will have and the explanations that your husband deserves.

What an evil web women weave sometimes, hurting the ones most who treat them best!

And incidently, YES, I am from Austin, Texas. I remember when this happened as I live just a couple of streets up the road from where this happened. It was awful and tragic.

Like I said, I am for justice, but I am having a hard time with the over the top characterizations. The pictures on her myspace page are from her Bachelorette party, were there any others? No, just that party. Strange..?? Also, it's been 10 and 1/2 years. Evelyn, besides her Bachelorette party god forbid, lived a quiet, professional, life, she was always devoted to her family. She was excited about getting married and having a baby. And I have even seen the suggestion she was partying while she was pregnant, that is absurd. She was a doctor, her dad was a doctor, Evelyn's family believe it or not was one of the most moral and close families I have ever seen. They had very serious values and stuck to them.

Did that person get in the car knowing the driver was drunk?

Actions have consequences. I had a drunk driver hit me when I was 21 years old and he forever changed my life. I have ZERO tolerance for drunk drivers and the lives they destroy!! It's easy to be on the side of the party that survived and say she doesn't deserve prison time. Imagine your mother, sister, grandmother, best friend dead at the hands of a driver who never faces punishment. Imagine someone telling you that too much time has now passed and that driver has moved on and created a happy life for themselves, but is remorseful for their actions those 10 years ago. I find it hard to believe that you would be accepting of anything less then watching that person stand trial for the death of your loved one.

I can't feel pity for someone who ran from their consequences. A poor mother grieved her daughters death for years and now sees images of the guilty friend partying, moving on with her life, pregnant, married…all the things that she had dreamed for her own daughter years ago. That mother was robbed of her future and your friend escaped punishment. Living a life of remorse is not equivalent to facing the mourning mother, telling her you're sorry and serving out your punishment. 18 is a legal adult, and assuming that this friend of yours is intelligent…I'm sure she knew that driving drunk could have tragic consequences.

Because she KILLED someone, seriously injured someone else and then RAN! (as to why Evelyn is being "characterized this way")!

It is NOT hypocrisy…..I (and I bet MANY other people here DO NOT DRIVE under the influence, did NOT kill or injure anyone AND DO NOT RUN FROM THE LAW–especially when we are GUILTY!) And….I would expect to go to prison if I was ever stupid enough to do anything like that.

Even if the passengers in her car were also intoxicated, SHE was the driver. She CHOSE to drive under the influence. She knew it was against the law before she did it AND knew what could be the deadly consequences as well as the legal ones.

She will get a harsher sentence because she evaded the law for the last 11 years! She jumped bail, cut out of the country, and never faced a jury of her peers. Now she should pay the consequences of her actions and bad choices. Too bad her new baby and husband will also probably have to pay for a price for her actions, also, by her being gone in prison.

At least she HAD the chance to try to make the right choices….once again, her two victims NEVER had the chance. One is dead and the other will never walk again.

No happy life, weddings, parties, and babies for them or their families/friends.

Now……WHO should we all feel sorry for again?

I don't give a damn how "nice and moral" she and her family are…..I will NEVER feel any sympathy for her or them.

I am so glad to have received the comments from truly caring individuals and the one who is remaining the defensive friend, poor thing.

I need to apologize for the way the comment was posted, it was a hacked up cut & paste job.

I myself was hit by a drunk driver 8 years ago. I was a wild ass W TX gal who was able to drink & drive until the laws changed on the back roads of W TX. I the would push it but I moved to Houston and cab fare was so afforadble and I guit drinking & driving. I was hit by a man 1 y older than my 35 self who already had one DWI! I was in a coma for ten weeks and it took me two half years to overcome the damages. I am very intolerant of drunks who drive now and I was moved by this particular story.

The facts remain, only the driver of the auto who kills another, not the passengers, is held liable. This woman was a guest in our great state, attending a university on the privileged can readily attend, and she wiped out the lives of two beautiful woman and then made an ass of herself by posting immature conceited pages of her "wonderful life" while the paralyzed woman cannot enjoy as Evelyn is/was and Lindsay will never mature past age 19. How crass an individual is this inhuman chic? Her parents are not any better than she as they helped her to escape. All actions have reactions and hers was so unsavory, she acted like the criminal she has become. I have no objectivity where she is concered. She harmed, which is against the law, she fled, which against the law, and yet she wants to be viewed as one who HAD aspirations of emulating her father who helped her flee! Both are losers. Big losers.

Elizabeth, this isn't about what kind of person she is. Nobody gives a crap is she has a big heart. Every state in this country has drunk driving laws and most of these laws include manslaughter. She broke the law, killed one person and paralyzed another because of an immature and illegal act. Now she must pay the price. I don't effing care how bad she feels…to effing bad. She should have thought about that before getting behind a wheel drunk. She thought she was getting away with it by running to Peru. Guess what, her running days are coming to an end. She's going to make some inmate a good bitch.

She was drunk driving and speeding. She killed one roommate and paralyzed another. She never spent one day in jail and her parents helped her flee the country. Then she has the balls to post pics and videos showing drinking and driving on her myspace. She deserves to go to prison for the rest of her life and I hope they take her baby away from her. Her parents deserve to do some time too. There is no excuse for anything they did. I have a real problem with people who get by with murder because they are rich and white.

If she feels so bad what she did, she needs to turn herself in. For each day that goes by, the punishmnet will get worse. This is another reason why we should look what type of people we let in this country. How can parents let her run and hide in peru? The parents should be arrested for assisting in the run, I know thay wont be or cant be, but it would be nice.

I am an attorney in the United States. I want to first offer my dearest sympathies to Rachel Brashier because her mom, the media, or whomever, has begun shining a light again on these tragic events that happened over 10 years ago and made fresh a wound that probably never even began to heal in the first place.

As for Rachel's explanation for why Evelyn ran ("she was running from Marilyn who wouldn’t accept the plea bargain made between my father, Evelyn and the D.A."), I have a question. The State alone is responsible for the enforcement of its criminal laws and therefore has sole jurisdiction over the degree of punishment for a perpetrator. Thus, neither your mother nor father would have any standing to overrule a plea agreement reached between the State and Evelyn Mezzich. In other words, your mother's objection to the plea agreement would not matter because she has no power over the State.

Perhaps I am understanding you incorrectly. I have an idea what you may have meant to say, but rather than putting words in your mouth, I humbly ask that you please clarify why Evelyn was running from your mother.

Thank you.

F*ck the b*tch. It doesn't matter how much she regrets it, or how it eats her up. She ran from the law and won't face the music. Avoiding punishment is anything but a sign of remorse. If our law enforcement can't arrest her there, then maybe that means her law enforcement can't arrest anyone here. In that case, she's lucky someone who cared about the young lady she killed hasn't come down there for her head yet.

R.J., I have a question. I think what you say is true, I am just wondering how it works and being a lawyer you would know, to what extent do the parents have a say? I have heard criminal cases where the cops know who committed a crime, but if they are not prosecuted against by the offended then there is so case. Here, obviously it is big enough to where the state would have to come in and do something. But I am just curious to where those lines are.

I am sure Rachel will clarify but she also said a lot on the Houston Chronicle site. She would know more than me, but from what I can barely remember it sounded like she was not only going to fight it tooth and nail criminally but also press a civil suit for money.

I really think it says alot Rachel, that you would defend Evelyn and her family. It was a horrible tragedy, everybody was very close. I'm sorry your family is having to relive all this right now, hopefully true justice will be done soon and you guys can continue your lives.

Tamara, if you really had any respect for justice, you would have respect for people. Maybe you could find more intelligent ways to express your opinions. No one is telling you your right or wrong, your just being rude.

Boo Hoo…Poor Evelyn. Send that b***h back to Austin where she can pay the piper. I don't give a rats behind how she feels about it. Any idiot knows that if you drive drunk and kill or injure someone you will pay the price. Pay it Evelyn, and get on with your life. Nobody likes an unrepentant, sniveling, coward.

First of all, I would like to thank Ms. Brashier for giving us another insight on the story. I work with criminals on a daily basis as I am a Probation Officer. I have people on my caseload who have committed similar crimes. I deal with the courts, laywers, victims, victims families and the people who actually committed the crime. I like to think that I have a good insight into such a crime, particularly since I have had a loved one harmed by a drunk driver as well.

I understand Rachel's desire not have her mom receive any money and to stop causing pain. I agree, should there be a civil suit, her mom should NOT receive a penny.

However, I do think that if Evelyn is TRULY is a moral and outstanding person, she should be the supposed adult she is now and face what she has done. I do find it EXTREMELY appalling the content she had on her webpage and cannot help but think she cannot feel that much sorrow if she is boasting about drinking being her hobby after all that happened. Rachel, you have to admit that is a bit fucked up, even if she is a good person. And to me, it sounds like she wrestles with some problems. She made herself a criminal when she fled. Prior to that she was just another person who made a selfish but impaired judgement that resulted in unfortunate circumstances. She IS a criminal and deserves to be punished for fleeing and not dealing with the drunk driving.

That said, I do not think she should receive life in prison or what not. I think if she wants to set a good example for her child she should turn herself in and deal with the situation appropriately. Your family, the ones who were actually there for your sister, can let your opinion be known before the court. A reasonable judge will let that impact the sentence. I personally would give her a split sentence, let her serve some time (no more than a year) and place her on probation here in the US with special conditions of treatment. Her pregnancy should not factor into the decision. Yes, unfortunate for the child, but this is what happens when you commit a crime and flee the country.

If we let every person who has committed a criminal action, who did so out of a mistake, avoid prosecution, we would not have many people in jail. There would be no point to having laws. There would be no consequences to bad choices.

People are not trying to make an example out of Evelyn, they are just trying to uphold the laws in place that protect us.

Sincerely,
Liz

I just want to say that I am sorry for what the families are going through when all these wounds are being reopened by the media. I don't understand why anyone would get into a car with a drunk driver unless they were drunk themselves. Having attended UT in the mid 90's and knowing of the free cab rides home provided by SADD makes me wonder if the tragedy could have been avoided. However, it is done and now everyone should try to move on from this terrible incident. Evelyn should apologize to the family of everyone involved and maybe face her sentence in Peru? Oh – and "living it up" at a bachelorette party does not mean she lacks remorse.

maryfromtexas I think you misunderstand the extradition agreement. When Evelyn fled it was still illegal to flee. It has always been illegal to do what she did. In the time since she left the country to avoid prosecution she remained a fugitive from justice. That did not change. The new revisions to our extradition treaty with Peru simply provided a new avenue for the United States to pursue her.

Rachel,

I wouldn't know you now if we walked into each other on the street, but when you were little, I baby sat you sometimes. I know that your parent's divorce was an ugly, bitter battle and I don't know what that did to either of your parents' personalities, I am sure it affected them both. Pain changes people. What I do know about is a time before your parents split up. I just want you to know that I never saw your mom act any way but very lovingly to both you and your sister. It was obvious to me that you girls were the center of your Mom's universe. She was so very proud of whatever you girls did. I know that time and circumstances change people and complicate our understanding of them. Since I don't know if you can remember a time before the divorce, I wanted to be sure that you knew, from an impartial source, that it was obvious to me your Mom adored you girls.

I have tried to think how I could convince you that I was there and not some freak online, and all I can think to tell you is that your dog was named Aramis, like the cologne.

I do hope that you and your family find peace Rachel. No one should ever face losing a loved one in so tragic a manner, and I am sorry that you are going through this in your daily life yet again.

Rachel, dear Rachel. Your mother loves you so dearly and always has. I have been there and seen it your whole life. You are obviously so angry with her over one issue that you have blocked out the good and focused on the bad. You spent a lot of time with her in Houston, and Lindsay LIVED with her all during high school. No money spent on you?? Do you forget all she did for you and with you, including classes at the J and sending you on a trip to Israel? You say that the girl who killed your sister should be forgiven and not punished. Where is your forgiveness toward your own mother, and how can you look at your baby girl and not understand the punishment you deal out by refusing to let your own mother see her only grandchild? What goes around comes around. Just as what Evelyn did is now coming back to her, so will the day come that your vengeance on your mom will come back to you someday. There is so much to heal. Please be grown up enough to stop the pain. Understand your parents' feelings, though they differ. Give your daughter a chance to know her grandmother; she will make her own judgment as time goes by. Your daughter will also learn how to speak of HER mother (YOU) by the way she hears you speak of YOUR mother. Half of Evelyn's motto is correct: Life IS too short. Change the end: so repair family relationships while you can and find peace in your life. It is okay to love both parents, even if they do not love each other. It is okay to disagree without being full of hate. Your mother has suffered Lindsay's death as I am sure you have. She was contacted about this matter by the media, not the other way around. It is not about her, or you, or your dad. It is about a major flaw in our justice system, a major issue in our society about irresponsible drinking, and a major life issue of the devastation of losing a child. May that never happen to you.

Hmmmmm…how bout Lindsay and Elizabeth go out, get drunk, hit evelyn…killing her and her baby? That way we can all even.

Rachel,

Again you are still not seeing the posted story and instead am now making this all about poor Rachel and the suffering she has had to endure. Grow up and take off the Rose Colored Glasses!

This story was posted because an individual, Evelyn, broke a State of Texas law, driving while intoxicated (DWI) , and hurts others, 1) the fellow UT roommate now in Brazil who is permanently paralyzed and the 2) death of the other UT roommate, Lindsay, and then this same individual, Evelyn, broke another State of Texas law, jumping bail, and is utilizing the www (world wide web) to post scenes of her life in the faces of the entire world who now know what a sad piece of an excuse she is for a person.

If Evelyn Mezzich was really this great and wonderful caring individual that yourself and Elizabeth claim she is to be, then Evelyn Mezzich would not have any issue with booking a flight immediately to Texas, turn herself in and begin the process of disposing of the charges of MANSLAUGHTER that the State of Texas had to charge her with because it is against the law in the State of Texas to drive intoxicated, was in 1996 and still is today, and also against the law to kill another in that state of mind, INTOXICATED MANSLAUGHTER is the term and this is what Evelyn Mezzich is liable for, responsible for and will be held to dispose of when brought back.

There is no if, and what you also failed to understand, only that The United States Justice Department is ALREADY in the PROCESS of EXTRADITION of Evelyn Mezzich.

I am not sure of what planet you reside but once the State of Texas brought charges & that is all that was needed by Evelyn Mezzich to know was she had a long road to endure of legalities, with a permanent record detailing this fact to other USA law enforcement officials. Now the USJD has gotten involved & she has an even deeper legal battle to overcome because this now became a Federal issue! Those are just the facts ma'am and this was never about anything but this and you are the one who resides in Waco or there abouts w/your picayune attitude over this issue attempting to make it or remold it to an issue of you! You obviously are not emotionally mature to deal with this Evelyn Mezzich issue and the reason this was said was your pov, your denial of the facts, your attempt to make her appear (bleeding heart liberal pov) "wonderful" when the facts have never changed.

EVELYN MEZZICH IS A MURDERER!

Family friend…
Your tone has changed considerably over the course of your posts. While I agreed with you early on, I lean toward Rachel now that I see where you are really coming from.

Rachel, I pray for you and your family, your pain is rehashed with each post made here. God works in his own way and time with everyone involved. Love your child and family…it covers a lot of hurts. Best to you.

Elizabeth, by LAW Evelyn IS A MURDERED, SHE COMMITTED VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER as she was behind the wheel of a vehicle and killed another, what do you not understand of this fact?

Car accident committed by an individual who was legally DRUNK, what do you not understand?!

The facts are this, EVELYN was behind the wheel of an automobile drunk, two UT roommates chose to allow themselves to be driven by her, bad decision, and now ALL have a PENALTY to PAY for that DECISION, LIFE AS A PARAPLEGIC, Tatiana, DEATH, Lindsay, and DESTROYED LIFE AS A MURDERER, Evelyn!!!!!!!!!!!

Facts are facts and laws were broken, accidents happen but that does not mean there was not a person liable for committing the accident.

Evelyn was responsible for this accident and as the State of Texas states it is a PRIVILEGE to be granted a drivers license and by accepting this privilege you AGREE to maintain and abide by particular STATE & FEDERAL rules and driving while intoxicated is against the laws of both you agreed to be honored by to to carry a license and to do be permitted to dive an automobile were broken and misused. Therefore, the State of Texas applied the remedy, charging the one who broke the law and or rules with manslaughter!

What does Elizabeth or Rachel not understand of this fact or State Law?

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5334378…

Here is a snipet of that Houston Chronicle story that is linked in the Title of this MyCrimeSpace webpage that you are not obvious to.

"After tests revealed a blood alcohol content of approximately .13 percent, Mezzich was indicted on manslaughter and intoxication assault charges, and the prosecution proceeded matter-of-factly."

The State of Texas does not bring manslaughter charges nor intoxication assault charges without PROOF and the BAC alone exceeded State Laws.

She got off rather easy with a $10,000 bond to leave jail as it only cost her $1,000.

Your friend and sister's life was worth $1,000 to Evelyn Mezzich!

Wake up you Morons. Evelyn needs to be sitting in a jail in Texas for the next 25 years. She does not need to be dreaming of breast feeding her soon to be born baby. She is te poster child for the third world latinos, both male and female, who have drunk driving offenses 10-1 to whites and other native Texans. Texas has been hit with a latino drunken driving epidemic since 1985. Go to the court house in Austin, Houston, and Dallas on any given Monday and Latinos outnumber whites 10 or 20 to 1 for drunken driving. It is a disgrace. These savages do not hold their alchohol and their brains do not think even after 1 beer. Evelyn needs to be taken from Peru by any means necessary. If a special force needs to land in Peru and take her just as the Israelis have taken ex-Nazis, then so be it. Her family has money and has been trying to protect her. I only hope Evelyn dies in a Texas prison. She is the scumm of the earth.
She suggested to the entire world via her obscene myspace page that "drinking" is one of her hobbies. Think people. If your sister was killed by this savage what would you want done? Personally I would want blood. Jail would not even suffice.

"The father of University of Texas student killed in a wreck more than a decade ago urged prosecutors to stop seeking the extradition of the car’s driver who now lives in Peru.

“I don’t see the point in bringing her here to prosecute her,” Tommy Brashier said Wednesday. “It potentially destroys more lives. Hasn’t there been enough tragedy already?”

Yeah, they never used to prosecute domestic violence crimes either, if the "family" or "victim" didn't want to pursue it. Thankfully, however, society has seen that crimes need to be punished, regardless of what the victim wants. This is the first I've heard of this story. Having said that, the fact that she absconded to another country, CONTINUED to "party", and has never paid the SOCIETAL price for breaking a law, is clear. She needs to stand trial for her crime, let the jury speak, and pay the price, if that is the verdict.

What is glaring to me, is the fact that she never bothered to stop drinking since the accident. I would hope, if I ever am in a position where my drinking causes a death, or injury, alcohol would be the LAST thing on my mind. BTW, there are no drunk driving "accidents." EVERYONE knows that drinking and driving is a crime. They also know that your chances of an "accident" increase, with the amount of alcohol you consume. Just because possibly everyone in the car was drunk, does NOT negate the driver's responsibility. I am dumbfounded that any mother could think differently.

All of you who "do not want to see another life destroyed", or who "know that Evelyn is a good person who didn't mean for this to happen", or who think that the decision to extradite and prosecute her should be up to the surviving family members of her victims need to wrap your minds around the concept of a society based on laws.

Failing that you need to stop and consider that some day you may be the victim of a crime and that there will be people standing beside the person who did "whatever" to you and those people will be saying that the perpetrator is a good person who didn't mean for this to happen. You need to open your eyes and see past this case. You need to stop and consider what would happen once a precedent like that is set.

You may think the world of Evelyn but you aren't the one who decides which laws are enforced and which laws are ignored for "the good people".

The rest of us do wish to see drunk drivers prosecuted. The rest of us do wish to see felons who skip bail and flee the country extradited and put on trial for their crimes. You don't live in a country where you get to pick and choose which criminals have to face prosecution and which ones don't. Because you've obviously forgotten this allow me to remind you "This is a good thing".

Being "AT the legal limit" is not a defense to prosecution in a case like this. The state may not be able to prove that she was driving while under the influence of alcohol but being at the legal limit would be a contributing factor to the case of vehicular manslaughter against her. She could have been charged with that and could be convicted without having a trace of alcohol in her system.

You can drive the exact speed limit, get in an accident, kill somebody, and still be charged with an offense if the weather made driving at the posted limit unsafe for the conditions at the time.

Elizabeth, all of the things you keep pointing to and bringing up have absolutely nothing to do with the law.

"You can drive the exact speed limit, get in an accident, kill somebody, and still be charged with an offense if the weather made driving at the posted limit unsafe for the conditions at the time."

Very good point, David.

To any who are still observing this issue, the world is smaller, and borders are so much closer. We are to practice and believe in a more diverse, accepting universe and to be hateful to another type of people, from another country is most disrespectful.

Love is to keep us together and help us to erase the negatives.

To point to another is sad and finger pointing is nor has been nice!

The way I see this, and is evidenced daily in the news is that we, the USA, have been overrun with a class or type of people who were not raised to value the law, the safety the law brings to its citizens, the value added concept of protection the law adds to a cultured, society. The people I am referring are literally fleeing their less cultured, civilized, and established country where there is little presence of police and when seen, it is typically on a state level and there to represent a sign to quell uprising, negative movements against the government. Fortunately, the USA does not have this negative issue to deal with and the new immigrants to the USA need to be educated on the community, the traditions and the culture of our country. THis is what is lacking. We have 12 mm illegal people in the USA and I can say they are not educated not only in the language, but the laws, the culture and the traditions. These people seek our shores because of the opportunities they offer, the freedoms they offer, the culture and traditions they offer yet so many seek these shores without the commitment to learn, to make this their home and to appreciate our culture. They are here to use the resources made readily available to them because we are a nation of immigrants and like to offer what we have and have worked so hard to accomplish and this they see the bounty of these efforts yet these people flee so easily when they have been caught in the hairs of their actions. Yes, many find it easy to escape, to flee, like the chicken hearted people they actually are, when they are caught breaking the laws of a country who opened their arms to help them find the bounty they aspire to find, the opportunities they are so desirous of obtaining!

These people deserve to be kicked out! I am a Native American and my family was here here before any others, this I know. I am a very proud Native American and yet I see the USA as a country of immigrants and we are made better what we bring to the table so why do the jerks who break our laws, then flee and feel they can without any repercussions?! They can for the short term but this is the USA and we come for your law breaking asses when you have harmed citizens! I am for this and will never be any different in my opinion.

The USA is the greatest. The USA is the best and we are a civilized, society who has evolved and do not come to the shores of the USA and break our laws as we will come hunt you down, in a civilized manner and make you pay!

BTW – I am not saying Mezzich should not pay for her actions. I'm just adding more fuel to the fire…From what I have read, Peru will probably not extradite her because she is pregnant. Perhaps after she gives birth, they will resume with the process. Whatever the outcome, all families have had their wounds reopened and all are suffering greatly now.

I will say this just because I know both sides of Lindsay's family. I do know that concerned probably found out the information about Ms. Datz being in a mental institution because that has been stated in interviews. I do know that Lindsay's father and sister have not stated that. I think it was actual medical records stating that. And it does go along with this case because it shows justice was served 11 years ago but Ms. Datz didn't accept it being enough so she was appealing that. I feel bad that Ms. Datz has gone through so much pain, but I don't think she is handling in the right way. I feel it is bad enough how much media this case has gotten because now they aren't even getting the stories correct. If you read some of the Peru stories, Ms. Datz says to them that Lindsay wasn't even in the car!! It says that Evelyn hit her while Lindsay was talking inside of a phone booth. I am neutral on this but when I start to see Ms. Datz's stories not line up, it's hard.

Tamara, life is not black and white, neither is the law. There is a reason there are judges and juries that are capable of complicated thought. Because sometimes, some of the facts surrounding a case change it's circumstances. And the facts surrounding this case do just that. If you are so excited and ready to see justice because of what happened to you, which was a completely different circumstance, then why don't you do something else than insult people you don't even know. It feels like punishment for everyone who takes the time to read your rants.

It sure is funny how everybody is so concerened with what parent raised Lindsay. It looks to me that both parents raised and loved Lindsay. Even if parents are divorced both can love thier children. Seeing how Lindsay is not with us any more then we can only assume how she felt about her parents. The facts may say that her father had custody of Lindsay but she did on her own free will, chose to live with her mother (Ms. Datz) when she was old enough to make her own decision and the court recognize that decision. Lindsay did live with her mother all thru high school . Yes Lindsay lived with her father before that time and seeing her mother during her allocated visitation time. I think it would be fair to say that Lindsay loved BOTH of her parents. Im sure that it is hard for the mom to let it go. I also believe that her father has every right to feel the way he does. When tragidy hits us we all cope differently and forgiving someone or some situation is generally difficult for most people. God bless all of Lindsay's family and be with them.

As far as the law is concerened there was enough to make a case against Evelyn. I'm sure the parents of Eveyln were trying to do what they felt was right. They were trying to protect their daughter. I do not agree with what has happened but can relate to their need to protect her. I do think that she should come back and face the legal system. If she is made not to come back it just sends a message that a person can commit a crime and leave the country. If it were that easy there would be a much higher crime rate. Since the law was able to find her they should proceed with her extradition. I know that many people feel that since it were an accident that there should not be any crimanal charges brought upon Evelyn. She did drink and she did drive. When a person does this than they are making the decision to brake the law. It is no accident at this point. I'm sure when Evelyn is brought back she will have the support of her parents to help her thru this. Maybe this nightmare for everyone involved will be over soon. And everyone involved can find some sort of peace.

I just got on here today to read, and Tamara, you are just Harsh. YOu are entitles to your opinion and you can explain it to others, but is it necessary to be rude? Why you are stopping so low? People are just expressing their opinions. I am not disagreeing here nor disagreeing, trying to respect everybody's comments, but it is hard to respect yours just b/c I see how mean you are being to everyone. Even people I may not agree with, I wouldn't be rude!

Tamara you are mistaken. Evelyn Mezzich is not a murderer and the way you keep repeating that leads me to believe that you think that doing so will make it true. It won't. She killed someone through her actions but that does not make her a murderer. I believe that she's facing charges of manslaughter which is very different from murder.

Apart from this you have a point however you are being emotional about it and that becomes clearer every time you post. Your experiences probably put you in a position where you would find it difficult to be impartial. That's understandable.

Who raised Lindsay means nothing in this case.

Which parent she lived with is irrelevent as is the medical history of her mother.

Tamara the issue is not “Fugitive’s MySpace page outrages dead teen’s mom”. That's the story but it's not the issue. The issue is whether or not the state of Texas, and the United States will remain content to allow someone charged with a felony to flee the country and avoid the legal process or if they will attempt to enforce their laws. Everything past that is irrelevent.

I can't believe about all that crap that I'm seeing and listening about blaming a peruvian sister about a teenager's accident If you see in your fucking news there is people dying by maniacs in Colorado but what's the deal maybe you ask but if it's a latin who killed accidentally a young beautifull lady and leave other paralized ohhhh she must be dead
That kind of bullshit pisses me offfff even the supossed mother of Lindsay wants to take advantage of that but the sad history is that she never care about her it's so sad she only wants to know how much money can she get from that even the candidate of …I don't know his fucking name was trying to get advantaged too by supporting his help to that supossed caring mother I was reading about that candidate I noticed that he supports the law against inmigration what a surprise he has found his base to support that racist idea save your fucking retoric
So now you must think about it about who's guilty

Alright everybody, time to come clean. Who gave the caveman a computer? Seriously whoever did it needs to come clean, walk into that cave, and take that thing away from him before he accidentally does some damage to it.

I'll concede that he's funny but computers are expensive and there's probably a child somewhere who could put it to better use.

And he probably hates the person who showed him how easy it is to come to America and get a better life! Who needs a computer anyway?! W/O who would we all be bitching too? Oh wait, making painted figures on walls!

XAngelX, I personally like immigrants, as I have a house full of them keeping my house, cars, and clothes nice and an office full of them to keep the place looking nice and executive and I can look so damn good to the public and then don't forget the one who keeps my pool clean and fucks me whenever I need a hard, worker cock!

Hi everybody,
I am amazed how cruel can a person become when one judge somebody else's. I don't think Evelyn acted wisely when all this happened. I am sure she has felt a lot of remorse and has to be able to stand up in front of a jury and judge. However, if you think an put yourself in both situations. I mean from victims and Evelyn. She was then only a child herself, inmature and one of the so many americans that drink and drive. Unfortunately in this case, 2 persons were serously affected. 1 dead and one can't walk anymore. Im my opinion all are victimes. Includin all the people that wrote mean and strong lines about Evelyn. Because you became somehow different from what you really are. Maybe it was the pain that you think people suffered in this situation or maybe was that you just enjoy writing such horrible lines about other people. I am neutral. I don't try to be better than anybody and certainly know that I am like al people who read/wrote here on this site NOBODY IS PERFECT AND IF YOU THINK YOU NEVER DID SOMETHING WRONG, YOU JUST DID.
I am sorry for the parents, and family of both families, they must be going through difficult times at this moment.
IT IS FUNNY, EVERYBODY IS SO BUSY WITH BLAMMING EACH OTHER. IT COULD HAVE BEEN JUST THE OTHER WAY AROUND AND EVELYN COULD HAVE BEEN THE VICTIM. THEY WERE FRIENDS AND BOTH INCLUDING THE BRAZILIAN GIRL , ALL 3 WERE RESPONSIBLE THAT DAY.

I am so glad to know that a Professional Physician has replied and recommended services they cannot prescribe!

Low Self Esteem? Not only are you NOT a Professional Physician nor are you are Professional Psychologist or Psychiatrist. I therefore I will leave your comments where they belong, in the garbage.

Until you can offer rational, logical, and real arguments I would strongly suggest you keep your menial and cowardice comments to yourself since you hide behind aliases which are for true cowards.

I am a very well rounded, successful, professional individual who has many accomplishments that I am proud of and continue to achieve more.

I am not one to hate, yet when such pathetic, idiotic statements are made as this one, I pity the author for their lack of intelligence.

If u want to get to her let me know i can arrage it. I don't like her nor her family. she needs to be prosecuted, so if anyone wants her let me know and I will arrage u to get her
