As I heard the story related this morning, Mexico would not arrest and return to the United States, a man charged with three rapes. "Dog" went down and took the guy into custody. The Mexican government stepped in and arrested "Dog", releasing him but demanding he return to face charges. He did not return.
Here our government shows it's willingness to jump to Mexico's tune, when Mexico tells us to stuff-it across to board.
Frankly, as it applies to our Mexican relations, I'm about as dumbfounded by it's actions and angry at our government as I could get.
Dog's a good man.
He did bad, learned from it, and makes restitution daily by getting bad guys off the streets. You can tell from his show he has a heart to help people.
As for this Luster case, I'll take it seriously when Mesico has extradited any number of murderers they won't return because they might face the death penalty here.
That story is not based in fact. At the time Chapman illegally arrested Luster, an FBI agent was on the way to participate in the arrest in Mexico. The FBI was aware of the same information Chapman had regarding the location of Luster but the FBI followed legal procedure- Chapman did not.
In this case the Mexican authorities expedited the return of Luster to the US. Luster was apprehended on June 18, 2003 and was in L.A. the afternoon of June 19, 2003. The Mexican judge expelled Luster for immigration violations rather than wait for an extradition proceeding.
