Extradition/Duane Chapman

This subject may have already been beat to death, and it that is , sorry for bringing it back up again.
I have read numerous posts regarding Mr. Chapman facing the charges in Mexico. This intrigued me, so I contacted an associate in Houston who is familiar with the case. He told me that there is no way to find out if Mr. Chapman has an outstanding warrant. That makes me wonder why some of you say YOU KNOW he does?
I was also interested to find out that Luster had entered Mexico under a fictitious name and illegally.. and if he had not done that, he would have been protected by Mexico's extradition laws.

wrong again you can call the mexican embassy and they will give you the number to the mexican federales--mex state police--they can confirm the warrent plus we have a copy of the mexican newspaper that the prosacutor names the clown act in--also how do you think luster got removed from mex--by the fbi legally--again you have to know how to accomplish it--if luster was a mex national it would be almost impossible to get him out but a us citizen is not that hard--the state dept and fbi carry a lot of weight on funding issues--i have gotten people out of mexico legally with out even going there it is all who you know and how much you like the person--simply put dollars and cents

And the reason that Mr. Chapman cannot or will not be extradited back to Mexico is the dual illegality clause correct?

Joshua,

What is it with you and Mr. Chapman ?..Why do you insist on constantly discussing him here, when most of us have told you we don't care ?

Seems like to me you are the one continually instigating a negative topic. ..Enough !

Mr. Chapman is who and what he is...A Felonius Convicted Murderer who manipulated himself into the media and capitalized on his style and became a multi-millionnaire. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Just like any one of a dozen pro-Atheletes who are also criminals yet made themselves into celebrities.

This forum is not a Duane Chapman forum. It is not for dsicussing the pros and cons of Mr. Chapman. Now please stop instigating negativity and cease your efforts to disrupt this froum or face the possibility of banishment from this forum.

I would say ban Joshua He/She only comes here to start trouble.

Good idea. No more talking about Duane Chapman. Now someone be sure to tell Lance that since he has instigated more posts about him than anyone. Good news! No more Chapman posts!

I was asking a question about extradition.
Wow, I sense a lot of hostility toward the subject of Mr. Chapman.
As for you rat. or should I say dean, why don't you grow the hell up and GIVE IT UP. Dj has filled me in on you.

That is your opinion, and I respect it. I just do not agree with it. So go right ahead and ban me then if that is how you feel about others speaking their mind.

Dual Illegatlity is what shelters many criminals who are hiding out in other countries.
The interesting thing about Luster being removed from Mexico 'legally' by the American Government was that it was a technicality that allowed it. Mexican law prevents trial and conviction in absentia, and it is widely and publicly known that Luster was tried and convicted in absentia. Which by the rules of extradition between Mexico and the United States had actually protected him from being extradited back to the US.
In fact, Luster was not "extradited", he was deported. The only reason he was deported was because he entered the country illegally by providing false information.
Joshua is right on that point - had Luster entered Mexico using his legal name he would have been protected from extradition.
Similar issues arise with most European countries, and Canada - the dual illegality clause allows people to remove themselves from the consequences of their crimes by high tailing to other countries.

I think this is a major issue that needs to be addressed. If you have the money to get out of Dodge, and manage to land in the right country then you are untouchable. If you're a poor schmuck like the rest of us you have to stay put in the good ole' USA and take your licks.

Having read much of what is posted on this board - I know this is a touchy subject, but here is my opinion: The US government would serve no 'justice' extraditing Duane Chapman back to Mexico when the laws in Mexico could theoretically harbor the worst offenders, such as Luster, under technical and moralistic differences in the law. It's high time that we stop leaving the back door open and allowing our criminals to go enjoy a penalty free life in other countries. I realize that our Government agencies may have gotten through the red tape to get to Luster, call it renegade justice or whatever you like, but giving this man one more day of freedom gave him one more chance to rape some poor girl and destroy her life.
