Celebrity Justice
Mexican Court -- "Dog" Must Stand Trial

Duane "Dog" Chapman, star of A&E's "Dog the Bounty Hunter," may have to return to Mexico to stand trial for deprivation of liberty, reports the AP, after a Mexican court ruled today that he should be extradited. The charge stems from Chapman's capture of convicted serial rapist Andrew Luster in Puerto Vallarta in 2003.

"Our attorneys have not even been formally informed of the court's decision, as of yet," said Dog and wife Beth Chapman on AETV.com. "We are obviously deeply disappointed and fearful of what will happen, and are currently absorbing the news and discussing our options at this time." No further details were available.

In 2003, Mexican authorities had arrested Chapman and his associates for unlawful deprivation of liberty and released him on bail. Last September, Chapman was arrested by U.S. Marshals and again released on bail.

31. someone explin to me how illegals are the same as Bitch the Bounty Hunter going to court in Mexico the same and him capturing a known c riminal is the cause of these illegals being here. the only similarity is that he was the illegal in their counrtry and they in ours. Guess what, they get arrested when caught and so was he.

32. This is ridiculous. I am disgusted with my government catering to Mexico's outrageous demands. It's ok for millions of mexicans to come here illegally and drain our entire system and DEMAND special treatment and nothing is done except to kiss the mexican presidents ass and ask what else can we do for you? But Dog allegedly breaks one of their assine laws and they can't hand him over fast enough?
He should get the same treatment the damn illegals get, a free medicaid card and a get out of jail free card.

33. Chapman is not a "lawman" by any stretch of the imagination. Those badges he and his thugs wear are for sale on eBay and lots of other places, or custom made for wannabes by any manufacturer.

His only real claim to fame is dressing like a roadie for the Village People and putting on a circus performance involving a "Dog" humping Miss Piggie.

35. Mexico does not respect our laws, but we better respect their laws and take care of their poor. The United States of Mexico. Where will Mexicans and others go, when the USA is no more? Canada? Europe? America better look out for herself, or she will no longer exist. Trillions of dollars have been spent and stolen helping foreign countries and they HATE US! Who are the FOOLS???? America will become the "outhouse" of the world. Stop sending our soldiers all over the world to be blown to bits!!! Bring our soldiers home from all over he world and deport all illegals from all over the world, and lock our borders. Teach in English in American schools, or tell the people to return to their native land to be taught in Spanish. Mexico teaches in Spanish only, and if you want to be taught in English, it s very expensive. There is not any bilingual education in Mexico. SPANISH IS THE LANGUAGE, and if you want Spanish, stay there. I am ashamed that $$$$$ is the reason for most of these programs. You cannot learn English in segregated classrooms. America does not care about English speakers. Our public schools belongs to Spanish speakers, and they outnumber monolingual classrooms 15-3 in some cities. They go all over the world hiring teachers to come here and teach these children "IN SPANISH." I learned to speak Spanish by traveling and going to school, but it was not to teach in my own country in Spanish. I do not mind clarifying for a Spanish speaker, but you learn the language of where you plan to live, as soon as possible. I would have never learned to speak Spanish in a segregated classroom, or hanging around with English speakers only. They do not want to learn English because Spanish will soon be the OFFICIAL language of the USA.

36. It's time for our government here in the states to step in and tell the mexican government to take a flying leap. Are they crazy or what? The "Dog" tracked down a fugitive and brought him back for justice!! Mexican authorities would not aid in the capture of this felon, but they gave him a nice place to hide out. It seems like Mexico sends all of their criminals over the border into the states. Are they blind to the crime in their country? They should be grateful that "Dog" Chapman went down there and took a fugitive off their hands.

38. Joe Kerr, do you have first hand experience with this law breaker? Since A&E are standing strong behind these people I think they should call themselves Abased & Embarrassed. I would love to hear more.

39. Duane “Speed Freak Convicted Accessory To Murder Racist Motorcycle Gang Wannabe Hawaiian Paniolo Dog” Chapman. Broke the law. It’s not as if the FBI didn’t KNOW WHERE to capture Luster, they JUST FOLLOWED THE LAW.

Chapman did not, he should know as well as ANYBODY that is a no no.

I have said this 100 times about this douche. He “catches” criminals on an ISLAND for f’s sake. A VERY VERY TEENY TINY ISLAND – I can catch a lot of fish in a barrel also.

The man doesn’t DARE come to Los Angeles except to feed his heifer. If he is SUCH a “hero” why doesn’t he help the LAPD. Catch EVEN ONE of the non-legal residents that are 95% of Los Angeles open murder investigations. He KNOWS that if he came and “Attempted” to set up shop here it would likely end in his and most likely his entire families untimely demise.


What I find even more amusing is the outcry from the liberal types, about “Free Dog”. The basic idea that he should get a pass on ANY laws he may have broken, because he captured Luster. While I agree Luster is/was bad.

I would say Saddam Hussein was 100 times worse. And you all wont cut GWB one inch of slack. EVERDAY it’s the cry of “Illegal War” “impeach” bla bla bla.

Saddam Hussein was estimated to have KILLED 2 Million people many by feeding them FEET FIRST into paper mulchers/wood chippers etc. You wont give the AMERICAN PRESIDENT AND BACKING FOR HIS GREAT DEED.

Yet you’ll cry like 8 year olds over some Tweaker Scumbag?


Get your priorities straight.


Don’t tell me he didn’t KNOW what was happening as his gang buddies killed a black man. He was THERE he knew damned well what was gonna happen. You NEVER admit that in court though of course, and that’s why he was able to get out of Prison. Don’t be naïve and think he had no knowledge of a MURDER taking place while he STOOD WATCH!



Yes I EXPECT to be COMPLETELY and totally hated by the herd followers. Because I know Speed Boy is your new god.

40. Dear Some Dude: Don't be shy, tell everyone what you know. Let's get this crap all out and forget about American versus Mexico. People are irrate about Mexicans and what they are doing to our Country. Tell them about this dirt bag.

41. I have lived many years in the places dog claims to have been. He was never a real biker, or a member of a club. In fact, nobody can be found who has ever seen him on a bike, other than sitting on one at the dealership and pretending to ride.

When he was in prison, he was known to suck up to the guards and was given a work assignment reserved only for bitches and snitches. He is a sissy and a wannabe.

He is nothing. He is employed by the fat broad who owns the bail bond agency and without her he would be flipping burgers. Now that they are married, he can look forward to community property when the show is canceled and/or he lands in the slammer.

42. Re-Kat-The Pussy Hunter
If the illegals are arrested why the FUCK are there still so many? And they are multiplying like rabbits! If a mexican came over here and arrested one (or 5 million) illegals I would be happy as hell- Give them a fucking medal, some cash, and a free ride home. I would love them to come over here and take their trash home.

43. I actually called Da Kine Bail Bonds in Honlulu, and they answered, it's true. I love the Dog and his family. This is just so wrong on so many levels.

44. I agree with those supporting DOG. I understand he broke their laws, but show some leniency it was for good cause. BUT you know he should have just left the rapist there and let them deal with it. Let the criminal stay there, one less for the U.S. to deal with.

Hey since Mexico wants to be that way, let them have the criminal and ban him from ever coming back to the states.

45. If all of you LOSERS like the illegal mexicans so much, why don't YOU go live there? And YES, they are living off of all of us here in the U.S. time they step their sorry asses into OUR country illegally. I bet half of you haters would be LOVING him if he caught someone whom raped YOU or a member of your family. Idiots!

GOD BLESS DOG AND HIS FAMILY!!!
