Mexican Court -- "Dog" Must Stand Trial

Posted Feb 16th 2007 2:49PM by TMZ Staff

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.

76. Stop the press!!!!!!!!! He's big Daddy, he's the father of Anna Nicoles baby. He likes His Women, blonde, big chested and not to bright. As for him having to go back to Mexico for getting a rapist off the mexican soil and into American custody where the slime bag belongs, they should be paying him not charging him.

77. I hope everyone who post against Dog and Co on this site gets what THEY deserve... That one of their close family members get raped and beaten by someone like that shit that Dog brought back after he jumped the border.

The hell with Mexico, if it wasn't for the US and Canada they'd be in deep shit right now. All our industries are moving over there because of cheap labor cost, yet those lazy shit can't assemble anything good. Why do you think products are easier to break, or have less life time? MEXICO!

We all went off on Bush for being a no good turd racist, for once I hope he truly is racist and says to the Mexican gov to screw themselves.

Fuck Mexico, keep Chapman in the US! And where the hell is the damn Hawaiian representatives in this matter? Most of these idiots owe Chapman for taking fellons off the street. And I don't care if they take their money and shit with bail bonds, when a crack addict beats the shit out of seniors to steal their money they should be paying for it. When a fu**ing shit rapist jumps the border we need people like Dog to get them back here so they can be thrown in prison and have their turn at being the bitch with some big dude called "Bubba!"...

And why should we be sending back Dog? Did the Mexican Gov send back the shit-head? NO! That should be our answer to them, NO! come and get him my mexican friend! We'll be waiting for y'all! Then send half of the gun-wielding rednecks from Texas to protect Dog! NOW THAT WOULD BE FUN!!!

78. II have been reading some of Joe Kerr's comments, and they are absolutely senseless. What in the world is he thinking? I hope to god that he never has a daughter that has to go through the torture that Luster put many, many women through. It is because of DOG, and his team that this monster is off the street. The remarks that he makes are lewd, and pointless. Has he actually ever met him? How in the hell does he claim that dog is not a lawman? And screw Joe's comments, that you can buy a badge like Dog's on e-bay...maybe Joe should go buy some manners, brains, and COMMON SENSE..do they sell that on e-bay????? A badge doesn't make you a man, or a great person..it is the man who wears the badge that makes it so. I'm not trying to put Joe Kerr down, or pick a fight, but where did this man get his education on morales? We all are human, we bleed the same color, we breathe the same air, and we all can fall prey to people like Andrew Luster if we put our guard down foreven a moment. Dog and his family are real, are true, and care about innocent people. Joe Kerr will always have his own narrow minded opinions about these wonderful people. I detect rage, and hatefulness in his tone. I truly feel sorry for him. He really doesn't have a clue. Hey, can you buy that on e-bay as well?? HOLLY

80. I am from Canada and watch the dog all the time. I also kept track of what was going on with the Luster case and was as relieved as everyone else when he was finally captured. I think the Chapmans should be thanked for the job that they do all the time without thanks and sometimes without pay. It is an outrage that they will be sent back to Mexico, which is in essence a death sentence. You are in my prayers--the whole Chapman family.... Karen from Canada

82. This comment is for the ones that uphold the law in Mexico...This man that Dog caught in Mexico was charged with over 46 rapes, he drugged and tortured the woman also. He got 126 or 7yrs sentence. I wonder if you would feel different if it were your daughter, sister, grand daughter etc. Who the hell cares how and in what way he was caught. This Dog did break the law from what I read, but in the end which of the two is the lesser evil? Is this not about catching a no good for nothing jerk who drugs, rapes, and tortures women to get his kicks and to make matters worse the sick jerk taped all of this also.... All your saying to people like that is that if you commit a crime and want to get a way with it come to Mexico. I think you need to get your fax straight and look at protecting the innocent and the weak not helping the evil, sick people that commit these crimes. Who gives a rat's azz about how or where he was caught. Would you not think different if it was your daughter, and to think he might have prayed on woman there in Mexico also..shame on Mexico for even going as far as they did.

83. He put a man who raped over 80 women in jail!!! Hello!!! What if one of those victims were your wife, mother or sister? Would you want someone to care enough to go after him, no matter where he tried to run and hide? Thank God Dog went after him. If he wouldn't have, that monster would we free in Mexico raping more women.

These 3 men are heroes...and NOTHING less!!!!

86. Justice For America, "Dog" for President...

87. What happened to Dog and our INNOCENT Border Agents is a result of President George Bush-Fox's allegience to Mexico and not America and her citizens. Dog Chapman did everyone a favor by putting that piece of "Human Excrement" aka Andrew Luster behind bars.

I wish Dog and his pack could go after all the ILLEGAL LAWBREAKERS here and send them back to mexico where they belong. It's a damned shame that these people get away with this. And I think we should declare our border a DMZ and anyone crossing it gets shot on sight. That should end our problems quickly! Just my extreme right wing opinions again.....

89. Love ya Dog and Beth. My prayers are with you. Don't know if you guys read anything here but if you do and there's anything we as U.S. citizens can do PLEASE let us know.

90. I THINK IT'S TIME FOR THE USA TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND HELP THE CHAPMAN'S WITH THIS ISSUE... ALL THOSE OTHER BOUNTY HUNTERS THAT ARE PUSHING FOR HIM TO BE EXTRADITED ARE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE HE DOES THIS JOB WITHOUT A GUN AND HAS THE LORD ON HIS SIDE...REMEMBER HE CAUGHT A MILLIONAIRE WHO WAS A SEXUAL RAPIST WHO THOUGHT HE WAS ABOVE THE LAW... IT'S TIME TO STAND-UP AND HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND LET THE CHAPMAN'S GO BACK TO DOING THEIR JOB BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE HAS DONE...BETH IS A WONDERFUL STRONG WOMAN AND SHE WILL FIND AWAY TO PUT THIS ISSUE TO BED ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!
