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.

109. So lemme get this straight-

A CONVICTED ACESSORY TO MURDER

EX-RACIST MOTORCYCLE GANG

OBVIOUS SPEED FREAK

Gets a "reality" show "catching" PEOPLE HE FREED FROM JAIL TO BEGIN WITH. (on an island with ONLY 800K people but that's another story).

ILLEGALLY "Captures" Luster - When the FBI knew EXACTLY where to find him (They just chose to FOLLOW the law)

And you cry whine cheer "pray" for the douche?


BUT THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT ------> CAPTURES AND KILLS ONE OF THE WORLDS WORST DESPOTS OF ALL TIME -----SADDAM KILLED AN ESTIMATED 2 MILLION HUMAN BEINGS!!!!!!!!! WANNA TALK RAPE SADDAM GAVE HIS SONS FREE REIGN TO RAPE ANY WOMAN IN THE COUNTRY....2MILLION PEOPLE!! DEAD!!


And you all hate his guts, want to impeach him bla bla bla.

Your lives and your priorities are so fucked over it's actually not even SLIGHTLY amusing.


None of you will respond to this, you will continue to live your fake lives pretending to care about something.....

110. 112 Some Dude
How do you know that some of these people also support our president? I agree, the treatment of women in the middle east is horrible, and that Saddam and his sons needed to be punished. However, Iraq cost us a lot of American lives, and I think that that's what people have a problem with.

To be honest one of the reasons that I'm upset that the Dog is being punished is that it may encourage more rapist and other assholes to run to Mexico, where justice will never be served. He was just doing his job, and yeah, he has a past, but I also believe that God does his best work with those who have screwed up.

111. This PuP must've been aware that he was breaking the law, and chose to carry on. Granted, Luster's a piece of crap who needed to be gotten off the streets, but ya gotta obey other countries laws. I'm pretty sure Mexico just wants to rape his bank accounts. I mean, what would they want another slimy desperado in their jails for? Then again, Dwayne could probably use a break from Beth. Why do they find it necessary to dress like "superheroes" when they're simply skip-tracers? I love to watch Dog turn and run away from the action when things get the least bit "real" on the show. What a strange success story!

112. "He was just doing his job" - Somebodys mama said this.


And this is what you people FAIL TO REALIZE --NO HE WAS NOT JUST DOING HIS JOB----HIS JOB REQUIRES HIM TO FOLLOW CERTAIN RULES AND REGULATIONS. One of those rules would be the one about NOT breaking the laws of other countries while after a bounty. He "SHOULD" have ANY and ALL licensing he has, revoked for this BLATANT slap in the face to the rules of his CHOSEN profession.

LAWS RULES AND REGULATIONS WHICH HE ------CHOSE------TO IGNORE.

HE BROKE THE FUCKING LAW -----PERIOD-----HE DID IT ------PURELY FOR FAME----DONT KID YOURSELVES AND ACT LIKE HE DID IT FOR YOUR DAUGHTER. He needs to follow his own tough guy advice and "DO THE TIME".

HE DID IT PURELY 110% FOR FAME---That's WHY he did it HOW he did it with the rush film crew etc...TO GET FAMOUS. Welp it worked and now he can go be the most famous bottom in Mexican prison.


I wonder how many CRACK DEALERS go to court and say " I was just doing my job...". I shouldn't go to jail for selling crack..that's my job!

Posted at 5:06PM on Feb 19th 2007 by Some Dude

113. Some how I don't make the connection. People who sell crack hurt others, Dog got a scumbag off the street. If he did it to get famous, so what? There are people that degrade others to make a profit/get famous or do stupid stuff. Most people that have gone to Mexico or are from there know that there's no law there, unless somebody wants money. Bottom line, he saved somebody's daughter or sister, and I personally don't give a crap why. Maybe you don't get that because you're "some dude", and you've never meet or been hurt in the way Andrew Luster hurt people, maybe you don't have a little girl to worry about. I wish that the molesters and rapist would get the death sentence. Yes, I know he didn't do it for my little girl, but I still rest a tiny bit easier knowing one less jerk off is in jail.

114. Well some dude is wrong on 2 points

1- i support President Bush and
2- i answered his moronic post

Dog is a hero, give him a medal. He's never tried to sugarcoat his past. And ONLY 800,000 people??? Your point would be....
Sounds like alot of people to me jackass. (And somedude is probably Joe Kerr, just doesn't want to give his real name because someone made fun of his small willie!!!!!)

116. "Some Dude" IS entitled to his own opinion. But YOU are not seeing the big picture. It is people without a clue, like Some Dude, Joe Kerr, and Butchcivic who need a dose of "Reality". It is so obvius that they do not care what the world is coming to. First of all Bush, and Sadaam were never a part of this conversation..until now. Bush saw to it that Sadaam was hunted, captured, and, hung for all of his wrong doings for crimes against humanity. His people & ours. As for some of his sons, last I heard they weren't doing too well either(many of them DEAD) Hmmmm..doesn't that make BUSH sort of a "Bounty Hunter"? I believe what Bush did was right(capturing Sadaam). Do I want him impeached? No. Do I believe in the war?Not every aspect of it. We are getting off the subject here. It is about Dog & his family. All these negative feelings everyone has is gearing towards politics. Plain and simple. Or just plain hatefullness. Dude you act like your angry that He beat YOU to it. And there are many,many,many more of us out there who BELIEVE what he did was right, than YOU that just want to sit around and bitch," he broke the law, he broke the law. " Sure some of you have broke the law too, (and were just lucky enough not to get caught) I do not believe he did it for his own selfishness, nor for his 15 minutes of fame. He did it for the people, the public, the born, the unborn. MY daughters, the neighbor's daughters, the daughter's in every state and place. Every corner of the world that this Low life, hemmoroid on society, could breach(LUSTER). You Obviously don't understand, or lucky enough to be the father of a little girl. Otherwise you may have an OUNCE of understanding where this fight for thiese men(Chapman's) are coming from. It sounds like you have no compassion, or no heart. How about morales? And i've said it once, twice, here I go again..Who Cares if he was felon, or in a biker gang?, and why do you say it's obvious he's a speed freak? (BY your comments it sounds like your on drugs) Flashbacks?? The man has turned himself around in life, if he didn't he wouldn't be what he is today, or have what he does. You think his family/wife/children were just handed to him? His home? He had to work for it. Sure, crack dealers can have it all too...but it never really will be theirs. And sorry dude My priorities are right in line I have a beautiful family, a fulltime job, going to college, and have enough BALLS to stand up for something I do so strongly beleive in. For people I believe in..who ARE doing right. Somedude i'm not saying your a bad guy, or even an asshole politicist, just asking you to set back and take in the whole entire picture..

117. Right on Holly!!

Posted at 6:29PM on Feb 20th 2007 by somebody's mama

118. YaY For Holly ! She has an opinion Yipeee!

I AM A FATHER of a 12 year old little girl. I have a wonderful career I have been in for the past 16 years. My office is a corner one, I overlook most of LA I'm happy as could be. And no not a bounty hunter or ANY type of law enforcement wannabe.

And try as I may it SURE IS TOUGH to teach her that two wrongs don't make a right. When MOST adults break that rule daily.

Sure I have broken laws I speed all the time, I live (most of the year)in SoCal that' s standard operating procedure.

NO I HAVE NEVER BLATANTLY with utter disregard broken MAJOR LAWS in other countries. And I don't think it's right for people to do so.

Are you happy about being invaded by illegals from Mexico here in the USA?
I guess your okay with it since they are "Just trying to bla bla bla"..right only the noblest of individuals come to America....

I'm sure you applauded Ellie Nessler also right......

Laws are put into place for a reason. And no it's not so they can be broken.



Just today in one of my local papers there is a guy who took it into his own hands. To spray paint markings around all the potholes in his town. To put the spotlight on the city council to fix them.Sure to a great many he is some sort of hero. Sorry if you ask me he's a vandal just the same as all the tagger kids.


Duane Chapman KNOWINGLY Disregarded Mexican law. The SAME LAW the FBI wouldn't break..


He's a Criminal

There is NO GREY AREA HERE

Black/White


Holly - I think it's you who needs to take in the WHOLE picture.

Posted at 7:30PM on Feb 20th 2007 by Some Dude

119. To Some Dude ..You have it wrong..I was not trying to make you look like the know it all wanna be. Totally wrong. Yes, like yourself I have many opinions. And NO I did NOT applaud Nessler. She murdered someone. Were talking bounty hunting, not murder. Two totally different sets of circumstances. And yes before you say it-both of them broke the law. I'm not here to shoot anyone down. Only to make a point, just like yourself. And no I'm not happy about all of the illegals being here in the U.S. But Mexico thinks it's okay to have floods of their people cross over every day. But if one American Citizen comes to their country, and breaks the law...there is all hell to pay! Find all the "desert coyotes" who charge a $1,000 or more to HELP them cross the desert and bring them into the US safely. Let's argue about that too. All of us could go on and on about this. In no way am I even interested in politics, but like you i'm allowed to voice my strong opinion. Also, next time you see your little daughter, maybe you can be a little more thankful, that she is just a little more safer everyday, because of the three men, who broke the law for something they believed in. The story about the pothole king with a liberal love for the spray paint can was strange, but no hero.

There's MY opinion...........Holly

120. This is absolutely outrageous! I hope the U.S. Government takes a stand for this man and rewards him for his bravery and for his great desire to get this insane, disgusting, sick, pervert off of the streets and in jail where he belongs. If the U.S. doesn't protect him, then it's like they are saying it's ok for a serial rapist to go free. All these 86 women deserve justice and justice would be to keep him(the rapist) in jail and set Dwayne free!!
