Duane 'Dog' Chapman to Be Extradited to Face Charges in Mexico
Fox News ^ | 2/17/2007

GUADALAJARA, Mexico — A federal court has cleared the way for TV bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman to be extradited to face charges in Mexico, court officials said.

Norma Jara, a spokeswoman for the second district court in Guadalajara, said the court rejected Chapman's injunction request, ruling there was no reason not to try him with the charge of deprivation of liberty of Mexico.

"We only just heard about the Mexican court's decision to continue with the extradition proceedings, and are still in shock," Chapman and his wife, Beth, said in a statement issued Thursday night in Honolulu.

Kind of you to ignore my question.

Do you deny that Dog entered a sovereign nation, a nation with which we have an extradition treaty, and broke that nation's laws?

Wow.

Which part are you denying - the existence of an extradition treaty? That Dog went to Mexico at all, or that he practiced his trade while in Mexico?

Where exactly do you think Dog apprehended Luster? Puerto Vallarta, California?

I myself favor prosecuting those lawbreakers, too.

I think all criminals should be prosecuted, in the jurisdictions in which they break the laws. It is not intellectually consistent to exempt some, just because they have a television show.

You keep saying that, but never actually offer up any information.

Time to put up. What really happened, in your opinion?

Did Dog go to Mexico? Did he apprehend Luster there? Because if the answer to those two questions is "Yes," then Dog is a criminal.

And just like that, she disappears.

I suppose we'll never find out the real story, known only to aimee5291, internet citizen, which has eluded the two involved governments.

If he wore an Armani suit, he'd still be a criminal who committed a kidnapping in Mexico. I'm not defending Luster, he should be executed, but "Dog" is also guilty of a crime. Also, plenty of others seem to think Chapman is a clown...hello?

There is no recognized "sovereign" government of Mexico. The US has treaties with such an entity but it does not exist. Who is the true government of Mexico? The cartels, The police/paramilitary forces, or the guy allegedly voted in has President because I have no idea?
Chapman bribed "officials" from the local police and so called "government" and was told they would look the other way when he captured this guy. Apparently there are no laws against such things in Mexico like their is here, but the Mexicans reneged on the deal leaving Dog S.O.L.
This whole situation is bizarre that I think the only any rational agency would hand Dog over to the Mexicans would be if there were some sort of under handed dealings between the two. There is no sanity in this. There is no due process in Mexico and it should be against better judgment to extradite someone back to such a system under fishy circumstances.

Actually the situation is pretty straight forward. Bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, Dog got arrested for kidnapping as a result of his successful bounty capture of Lester, Dog got out on bail, Dog left Mexico, Dog didn't go back to Mexico, Dog missed his court case, and now the bounty hunter is also a bail jumper. We've sent bounty hunters to Mexico to face the same charge for the same reason before, also to Canada. Whether or not Dog bribed some Mexican cops to look the other way, and whether or not they reneged is immaterial. There's a DVD available from Discovery.com (if you can figure out which episode it is) that shows Dog committing this crime, and of course the fact that he got a TV show in part because of this bounty can't be making Mexico happy.

The moral of the story is simple, don't chase bounties to Mexico, and if you feel you must chase your bounties to Mexico don't making a freaking TV show out of it.

But on his TV show all I see is bond forfitures for small time down-on-their-luck drug & alcohol addicts.

And what do you think the poor, poor, down-and-outers are doing while on the run from American justice? Getting masters degrees? Volunteer work? Answer: NO!

They're the ones that are doing the car-jacking, rock-selling and stealing of anything that isn't nailed down or guarded with a large caliber weapon, thats what.

Not true.

>>It is my understanding that Mexico never extradites criminals to the US for trial.
