In context this is an exception to the rule. Luster was wanted for 86 counts of rape. He fled to Mexico and was preying on girls there.
You damn right I support the people that brought him in, even if they did violate another countries laws.
Me too. If the FBI couldn't get Luster and Dog could and did then I think he did the right thing. Luster was raping women in Mexico and had a payback list. Mexico should be glad Dog caught him . But I think Mexico is so corrupt that they didn't care what Luster did as long as he was paying off their government. Our government should tell Mexico no to extraditing the Dog, Leland and Tim. This is a bunch of BS. Let the Mexicans come get their illegals and extradite them.
According to news reports, the FBI was within a day of picking up Luster, who was hiding in Mexico under an assumed name.
The tip that Chapman got was also given to the FBI, but the FBI took a little longer to get there because they had to coordinate with the government.
The mexican government had no desire to hide Luster, and was cooperating.
When Luster was taken from Chapman, it only took a day to get him expelled to the United States (as a foreigner, it was a little easier -- if he had been a Mexican, we would have had to use extradition proceedings, such as those that will be applied now to Chapman).
Chapman's crime in Mexico wasn't a big deal -- Chapman's lawyer said it was a misdemeaner and should be resolved trivially. But after Chapman was released on bail and returned home, he blew off his criminal trial in Mexico, and now he is wanted as a fugitive as well as for the original crime.
Chapman is trying to use Luster's notoriety to defend himself, but in fact he broke the law in mexico to launch his TV career and in an attempt to get $350,000 in bounty by capturing Luster.
Turns out he couldn't collect on that, because he was not hired by the bail bondsman, and had no authority to act as a retriever in the case. A judge in the United States denied him any money for his "capture" of Luster.
But it DID launch his A&E career, so it turned out very well for him.
Except for the part of having broken the law in Mexico, and being a bail-jumper.
I bet every criminal HE picks up for bail-jumping says that he is being unjustly accused of a crime, and fears for his life in prison.
