No matter what you think of him or his show, Dog Chapman IS a true American Original. No doubt about it. This is just one more reason for me to dislike Mexico.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico — A federal court has cleared the way for TV bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman to be extradited to face charges in Mexico, but the decision can still be appealed.
Mexican authorities have already asked for Chapman's extradition from Hawaii.
Chapman's lawyers argue he would not be guaranteed a fair trial in Mexico.
The charges against the 53-year-old star of the A&E reality series "Dog the Bounty Hunter" stem from his June 2003 capture of Luster in Puerto Vallarta. Luster had fled to Mexico to avoid trial, and his detention by Chapman led to his return to the U.S. and a 124-year prison term...
Chapman, who is now free on $300,000 bail, faces up to four years in a Mexican jail if convicted. But his Mexican lawyer, Jorge Huerta, doubts he would get the maximum. Huerta said illegal detention is a relatively minor crime in Mexico, and that if Chapman is convicted, he would likely only have to pay a fine of several hundred dollars.

I know that I only watch the Chapmans on TV. Although that is the case, I feel like I know them, I even cried when I heard what happened to their daughter. They are just tring to keep our world safe, expecially for our children. I don't think that that is a crime!
