Since she was previously found "not guilty", extraditing her would subject her to double jeopardy, which is why I think US judges will likely say no.

I don't know about you but I've done a certain amount of traveling in my day.Countries as civilized as Canada,Britain,Germany,Australia and Japan among others.I've also visited countries as *un* civilized as Vietnam (as a tourist,not a soldier),Indonesia,Tanzania and China..among others.When entering each of those countries (civilized or not) I knew that I was subject to *their* police,*their* courts,*their* judges,*their* laws...for better or for worse.The same is true for foreigners coming here.Do you think that Canadians or Mexicans who commit wanton murders in Texas should be exempt from the death penalty simply because *their* home countries don't have the DP and oppose other countries having it? No,I didn't think so.Neither do I.

You might want to read the case before you send this kid to her imprisonment. This case is a joke.

And, guess what? Countries without death penalties ROUTINELY demand that the death penalty be taken off the table before they will comply with an extradition request for one of their citizens to the US.

If they can make their laws govern whether one of their nationals gets extradited here, then WE can apply the same principle when extraditing one of our citizens would cause her to be subject to double jeopardy, or when some Muslim country wants one of our citizens so they can execute him for "insulting Islam".
