http://www.nbc10.com/news/9850095/detai ... i&psp=news NBC10.com More Report: Rice May Decide 'Dog Chapman' Case POSTED: 1:54 pm EDT September 14, 2006 UPDATED: 8:39 am EDT September 15, 2006 Condoleezza Rice may decide the case of bounty hunter Duane Chapman, who is wanted in Mexico after he illegally caught a wanted rapist there three years ago. Larry Butrick, chief of the criminal division of the U.S. attorney's office in Hawaii, told CNN while a magistrate in Hawaii will determine if Chapman can be extradited to Mexico, the final decision will be made by the U.S. secretary of state. MSNBC first reported that U.S. officials arrested the TV reality star and two family members in Hawaii for extradition to Mexico on Thursday. The action took place at the request of the Mexican government in the form of a diplomatic note sent on Wednesday. Chapman's wife told MSNBC's Rita Cosby that heavily armed U.S. marshals arrived at the family's house and took away Chapman, his "blood brother," Tim, and son, Leland. Video: Beth Chapman Talks To NBC News "I was getting the children ready for school and the U.S. marshals burst in our door and they just came right in and took him," said Beth Chapman on MSNBC. "He was in shock. He was, he was shocked. He was shocked and he was amazed that the marshal's service that came to get him didn't even treat him as kind as he treats his own prisoners." A representative from the Marshal's office had a different version of what happened in Hawaii. "There were 7 deputy marshals who went to Chapman's home," said Jay Beber, from the U.S. marshal's office in Hawaii. "We knocked on the door to announce that we were U.S. marshals. … Mr. Chapman was compliant and very respectful." The Chapmans were in custody and expected to remain in custody until a bond hearing is held. Mona K. Wood, a publicist for the star of the popular cable series "Dog The Bounty Hunter," said Chapman would be vindicated. "He arrests the bad guys -- and he is definitely not one of them," she said. The charges stem from Chapman's capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster on June 18, 2003, in Puerto Villarta, Mexico, said Marshals spokeswoman Nikki Credic in Washington. Charges have been pending against the three since local police in Mexico arrested them shortly after they roped in Luster. They posted bail but never returned to Puerto Villarta for their court hearing on July 15, 2003, Credic said. Mexican authorities demanded that the Chapmans transfer Luster to Mexican police. Their refusal to do so led to their initial arrest. A U.S. warrant for their arrest was signed by a federal judge in Honolulu on Wednesday. Bounty hunting is considered a crime in Mexico. At that time, Mexican prosecutors maintained that Luster's capture violated their sovereignty. The Chapmans each could face up to 8 years in prison if they are returned to Mexico and convicted on kidnapping charges. Luster is now in jail, serving a 124-year term for rape. |

I hope that she does the right thing in this case. In that article it says that they could face up to 8 years I, have heard they are getting 2 years also they could face up to 4 years, my point is that even the media can't decide what he is actually facing as far as time goes. |

The mexican govt. is notorious for being financially biased (ie; justice is determined by how much money you have to pay people off - similiar to the US actually but a lot more obvious). I would be highly surprised that, if he is extradited, he doesn't just pay a very large fine to the local authority and mexican govt. |

THIS TOPIC HAS STRAYED INTO THE REALM OF "POLITICAL NATURE" AND SHOULD BE REMOVED FOR "REVIEW". While the initial post was bea relevant, upon review, my comment regarding the nature of mexican "justice" could be construed as "political" and deragotory to that particular nation. As such I will be the first to say it has strayed into the realm of "political nature" and hereby apologize. |

The news will be that du-du will make a public apology and forfit the bail and pay a fine and all will be forgiven--the truth is that he will pay a large under the table bribe to the proper mexican officials--we all know that nothing new |

I agree with Hadley as I have said before. Money will change hands. Chapman "cubed" being in jail will not benefit Mexico. Money will buy new LE equipment, fix roads, get the Gov. of the state a new car, etc..... A&E will spin it that this arrangement is due to Chapman "cubed"'s innocence, but all of us who have successfully recovered fugitives in Mexico know that there are procedural issues unique to each situation and none of them include us having arrest powers. There is a whole lotta dumb out there goin round. |
