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?
yes I do ..so now what?
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?
You can if you are MEXICAN and entered the US "ILLEGALLY"........happens all the time!!!
Set the DOG free!
Set the DOG Free!
Hey Mexico!
We've got few million more for you to extradite!!!
you can't go to another country, break its laws and expect to get off scot free
You can if you are MEXICAN and entered the US "ILLEGALLY"........happens all the time!!!
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.
I was right..you don't know much about what happened..or you would realize where you are mistaken.
It certainly appears that Bush and Friends have a thing with Mexico....disgusting
yep...it appears you are in the minority....
The issue is "Principle" not the man's name or occupation.....hello?
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.
Okay, crazy lady. I'm backing away now.
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?
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.
Who gives a damn what a federal court in MEXICO says?
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.
Hey now//time to put up...thats pretty funny.
(sigh) If you followed the case at all you'd know. It was on film...the whole matter. Now maybe you should fess up ...why the grudge???? hmmmm
