OT Question


Steff

Recommended Posts

In 1996 France and the US agreed to an extradition treaty.

 

I know a lot of extradition treaties now deal with the transfer of terrorists or fugtives, that type of stuff. 

 

Hope that helps Steff

Yes, it does. Some moron tried telling me that they've had one for a long time and the reason Polanski wasn't extradited was cause he is a French citizen... well, he's also a US citizen and IF they had a treaty when he was convicted the US could have forced him back.

 

Thanks!!

Hope I am not too late but France and the US have an extradition treaty, but France refuses to extradite anyone who is facing executable charges.

It doesn't state that in the treaty Mike... is that just their "unspoken" rule..? And if that's so.. then why is Roman safe..? I assume it's because he was convicted prior to the treaty being agreed upon?

You're kidding... right?

Be careful Steff. Extradiction treaties are not across the board. For example Many countries will not extradite their citizens if the death penalty is possible. They may also not extradite if the crime isn't a felony (for example). You may find out that France does not extradite for statutory rape but they may for a murder. Still others may insist any sentences will be done in their country first.

 

Hope this helps and why bother with a low life like Pulanski? His victim always comes out and begs that society just drop it. She claims today it was consensual sex. I don't happen to believe it, but I respect her wishes.

Actually.. it was about the Jackson case. Would they extradite if he fled there?

I don't know if it is a formal thing or not but IIRC they have outlawed it themselves so they refuse to extradite to anywhere who still does have it. Ira Eihnhorn was the big case to do with that. He had been charged with killing his gf in the 70's and faced the death penalty here in the states and France refused to send him here unless the death penalty was taken off of the table. We refused, and he stayed in France for something like 25 years.

Actually, I didn't have an idea about what it was. But, from the posts in this thread I've read, I gather that it has to do with a country giving back a criminal in from one country to that country instead of allowing him or her to stay there as a "safe base."

 

I seriously don't know much about history or politics, and I don't really watch the news or CNN, so I don't know about much that is going on outside of the sports world.

What's a square root of 8?
