I've made no secret since Zachary's murder that I think anyone accused of murder should be denied bail, period, and I believe these five points support that. If you can't do that, then at least reverse the onus so that the defendant has to bring something more than a promise. Shirley Turner promised she would appear in court every time. But she always had the power to say, “Buzz off, I'm out of here,” which she did. Something more than a promise should be required. If you change it so that the onus is reversed, it's got to be something more than words on a piece of paper.
Regarding the extradition, I do not understand why it isn't this simple. I know I'm not a lawyer, but I don't understand why it isn't this simple: the requesting state says it wants a certain person for a certain crime, and the responding state, in my opinion, should simply determine if this is the person. Yes. If this action took place in our country, would it be a crime? Yes. Then off you go. The details happen at trial. The trial is where, to my knowledge, every criminal justice system, at least in the western world, really digs in and gets as close as a courtroom can ever get to the truth. All the preliminary stuff is, dare I say, often a waste of time.
Shirley Turner's attorney had a couple of nits that he argued, and they were fine points of the law and they didn't have a damned thing to do with the fundamental question of whether this person did this crime.
