The Very Latest News On Chapman Ruling....


HERE IS THE LATEST NEWS

FROM OUR LEGAL TEAM. IT’S A LITTLE COMPLICATED,

BUT HOPEFULLY WE’VE EXPLAINED

IT ENOUGH SO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT’S HAPPENING.

MAHALO,


MONA ..


Aloha!

William Bollard, attorney for the Chapmans, has received the official ruling form the Mexican court today.

A leak from a clerk in the Mexican courts and a premature Associated Press article quoting this person and a person claiming to be our attorney in Mexico late last Thursday (2/14/07),

have caused initial shock for the family, as well as additional grief over some of their misstatements.

Bollard has now been able to review the court documents to determine the reason for the denial of the Chapmans’ injunction request – which was NOT based on the merits of the case, but a technicality, and he can also now file an appeal. He also hopes to clarify any misstatements made earlier.

Please review the release, below, and contact him directly with any questions or interview requests.

CHAPMAN ATTORNEYS RECEIVE OFFICIAL RULING FROM MEXICAN COURT TODAY

An appeal will be filed with the federal circuit court next week. HONOLULU, HI - The Federal Court for the Second District in Guadalajara,

Mexico has issued a formal ruling in the constitutional challenge (known as an amparo) presented by attorneys for Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman, Leland Chapman and Timothy Chapman.

Contrary to prior unofficial reports of a ruling from the Second District, the court's action does not “clear the way for the Chapmans to be extradited to Mexico," explained the Chapmans’ lawyer, William C. Bollard.

"There have been several misstatements made to the press over the past several days," stated Bollard. "For example, we have never argued to the court that the Chapmans would not be guaranteed a fair trial in Mexico."

Also, since the story broke last Thursday (2/15/07), media sources around the world, citing an Associated Press article out of Guadalajara, have quoted someone named Jorge Huerta, who purportedly identified himself as the Chapmans' "Mexican lawyer."

"We have never heard of Jorge Huerta. He certainly does not represent the Chapmans, and his statements to the press were misguided and reflect little understanding of the circumstances of this case,"

Bollard added. The Associated Press has since released a statement to correct this information. The amparo presented to the federal court by Chapman's lawyers last October challenged the arrest warrant issued by a Puerto Vallarta judge against the Chapmans.

The warrant alleged they had unlawfully deprived the freedom of international fugitive and convicted serial rapist, Andrew Luster, who is now serving a 124 year sentence in California.

At the time the arrest warrant was issued, a second charge of conspiracy was dropped by the local judge in Puerto Vallarta.

The prosecution immediately filed an appeal to that ruling which is still pending. Bollard, who has now reviewed the recent ruling by the federal district judge, explains, "The judge for the Second District decided to not consider the merits of our constitutional challenge on the grounds of a technicality.

The Second District cited a Mexican law which holds that an amparo should not be considered while another appeal which could modify the underlying warrant is pending. The other appeal referred to by the federal court is the pending appeal brought by the prosecution in Puerto Vallarta. "But that law applies only to simultaneous appeals filed by the accused and not to our circumstances where the pending appeal was filed by the prosecution," stated Bollard.

Bollard commented that the federal court should have considered the merits of the amparo. "We intend to file an appeal with the federal circuit court next Tuesday," said Bollard.

Pending a ruling by the circuit court, the injunction previously issued staying all extradition activity will continue in effect.

“Nobody is going anywhere right now.


We continue to have complete confidence that a full consideration of the merits of our amparo will result in justice being done and our clients’ exoneration." Media may contact William Bollard via the following:

In 2003 Duane Chapman, AKA Dog the Bounty Hunter,Leland Chapman and Tim Chapman were arrested in Mexicofor the apprehension of Andrew Luster.

At their ownexpense, they did what the Federal Government couldnot or would not do. They had with them a Mexicanpolice officer (as demanded in Mexico).

After theapprehension of Luster all four men were arrested bythe Mexican police.While in Mexico Andrew Luster was living under anassumed name. Luster was not extradited to the UnitedStates.

He was cuffed and taken to the border where

US Authorities were waiting for him.

All done in arecord 36 hours. Andrew Luster was expelled from

Mexico because he did not have proper identificationand paperwork.

The seven days spent by the Chapmans in a Mexicanjail cell, along with the public shame and humiliation

of being arrested (then and now), the court costs andattorneys fees associated with this case and beingplaced under house arrest is certainly adequate forrehabilitation.

Any thing more the Chapmans shouldhave to endure related to this case constitutes thecruel and unusual punishment the Mexican Governmentclaims to abhor.

In 1990 the DEA hired Mexican bounty hunters, for$50,000 to abduct a Mexican citizen, Dr. HumbertoAlvarez-Machain, who was only suspected of a crime, tobring him to the United States where he could beofficially charged.

After a Judge determined there was not enough evidence to take Dr HumbertoAlvarez-Machain to trial, he returned to Mexico.

Hethen filed suit against the US Government and the Bounty Hunters.

These Mexican bounty hunters are currently living inthe United States as a members of the witness protection program. The judgment against JoseFransico Sosa, one of the bounty hunters, in theamount of $25,000 was over turned by the highercourts.

The United States Government fought tooth and nail to protect itself and the Mexican bounty hunters from the monetary damages that could have been imposed by theirdecision to do just what the Chapmans did .

They have gone out of their way to protect the lives of the Mexican bounty hunters they hired.

Why is this same United States Government not fighting tooth and nail to protect the Chapmans?

We the people of the United States of America DEMAND

that the United States Government immediately exercise some common sense by refusing this extradition request and release Duane Chapman, Leland Chapman and Tim Chapman from the threat of extradition.

We the people of the United States of America DEMAND that the Mexican Government immediately exercise some common sense

and drop all pending charges against the Champan's

and release them from the threat of extradition and/or prosecution

DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER TRIO STILL RELYING ON JUSTICE FROM MEXICO COURTS.............

The Chapmans’ attorneys will file an appeal on the Mexico court’s recent ruling. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday, February 16, 2007 HONOLULU, HI -
Last night, at approximately midnight, Mexico City time, the AP News Service in Guadalajara released a story that claimed the federal judge presiding over the case of Duane “Dog” Chapman, son Leland Chapman, and associate Tim Chapman, for charges of “deprivation of liberty” associated with the capture of notorious rapist Andrew Luster, had ruled that the case would be allowed to proceed, and that the three Chapmans would be extradited to Mexico to stand trial. As of this morning, it appears that the news report was not authorized by the Mexican courts, and was premature. The news had been leaked. Unfortunately, the source’s claim was partially true regarding the judge’s decision to deny Chapman’s injunction request. The Chapmans released the following statement. “This news has caused us great concern and anxiety. However, our attorneys have assured us that there are many avenues we can pursue to try and prevent extradition to Mexico. “Our attorney in Guadalajara has confirmed that a low-level employee of the court was the source of the story, but not an official spokesperson, as the piece stated. Other news sources have quoted an attorney by the name of Jorge Huerta, who claims to be our attorney in Mexico.
Huerta is not associated with our legal team or the Chapman family in any way. The AP story also stated that our attorneys have argued that we would not get a fair trial in Mexico which is also a false statement. “Needless to say, we are hugely saddened and disappointed by the news, but this does not mean our automatic extradition to Mexico will take place as the press releases have implied. We have always maintained that we would be cleared of the charges, based upon the atrocious crimes of Andrew Luster, and because we believed we were within our rights under Mexican law. “There is an appeals process which we intend to file with the higher court in Mexico - and there are still hearings and a process to be held in the United States regarding the extradition. We maintain that the team’s actions, in concert with Mexican law enforcement, were legal and that we were protecting Mexican citizens, and well as U.S. Citizens, from future acts of violence by Luster. We are hopeful that both countries will acknowledge the fact that his capture was of the highest importance for the safety of their citizens. “We’d like to thank the many citizens, and government officials - including more than fifty U.S. Congressman, who have supported our case.
We hope that we can continue to count on them for support in this matter, as well as their prayers.”
- Duane, Tim & Leland Chapman, with Beth Chapman

DOG UPDATE, VERY SAD!

james iles dogonmyspace@googlemail.com

Mexican court rules "Dog" Chapman should face trial
Case stems from the capture of fugitve Andrew Luster
Associated Press





GUADALAJARA, Mexico — A federal court cleared the way for TV bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman to be extradited to face charges in Mexico, court officials said today.

Norma Jara, a spokeswoman for the second district court in Guadalajara, said the court rejected Chapman's injunction request, ruling there was no reason not to try him with the charge of deprivation of liberty of Mexico.

Mexican authorities had already asked for Chapan's extradition from the state of Hawaii.

Chapman's lawyers argued he would not be guaranteed a fair trial in Mexico, Jara said.

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 convicted rapist Andrew Luster, the Max Factor heir, in Puerto Vallarta, 210 miles west of Guadalajara.

Chapman was arrested Sept. 14 along with his son and another associate and released on $300,000 bail. He faces up to four years in a Mexican jail if convicted.

Luster's capture shot the Honolulu-based bounty hunter to fame and led to the TV series. His disappearance set off an international manhunt by police, FBI and bounty hunters trying to recoup some of the bond money. Luster is serving a 124-year prison term .

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

STATEMENT FROM DOG AND BETH

We only just heard about the Mexican court's decision to continue with the extradition proceedings, and are still in shock. Our attorneys have not even been formally informed of the court's decision, as of yet. We are obviously deeply disappointed and fearful of what will happen, and are currently absorbing the news and discussing our options at this time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We really need to fight now -
www.dogspetition.co.nr and www.petitiononline.com/dwayne/petition.html are the petitions you really need to make people sign. The fight starts now - dog leland and tim are really worried now, so please help !!!!!!!!

Letter To Mexican Officals

This letter is from John Buffam (who runs the other petition) and he has asked use all to contact the Mexicans. This is the letter: (if you can't understand what is being said, please email me as I am fluent in Spanish) and please send it to these addresses (one of them is the judge of the trial)

A quien le pueda interesar:La presente carta es en respecto a la situación hoy vivida de el Sr. Duane "dog" Chapman, su hijo Leland Chapman y su asociado y amigo el Sr. Timothy Chapman. Como sabrán, estos tres individuos fueron arrestados por autoridades mexicanas cuando ellos capturaron al Sr. Andrew Luster. El Sr. Luster se fugo a Mexico mientras esta en juicio por supuestamente violar y ultrajar a tres mujeres en los Estados Unidos. Mientras el Sr. Luster se mantenia profugo de la justicia, el juez a cargo de su caso lo encontró culpable. El Sr. Chapman y compania entonces se dieron a la tarea de encontrar al Sr. Luster y traerlo frente a la justicia Norteamericana. El Sr. Luster ahora esta cumpliendo una cadena perpetua por los tres cargos de violación, gracias a los Srs. Chapman. Gracias a ellos, hay un criminal menos en la calle. Ellos no son los criminales, solo son justicieros. Sabemos que de acuerdo con el tratado de extradicion del 1978, un individuo puede ser sujeto de extradición si priva a otra ser humano de su libertad. No creo que esto aplique a este caso pues al ser humano que privaron de libertad fue a un profugo, a un ser que violo a tres mujeres y que si dudas habría seguido violando mas mujeres en México. Un Juez recientemente reviso el caso de los Srs. Chapman y atraso la resolución. Yo hoy solo pido que le cierren el caso a los Srs. Chapman. Ellos han tenido muchos gastos por este caso y en mi opinión ha sido injusto. Ellos estaba cuidando el interés publico. Un violador es mas criminal y salvaje que a un cazarecompenzas. Se que fallaron, pues esa es la ley en México pero ellos no estaban al tanto de eso. Y ademas ellos le hicieron un bien tanto a las mujeres en México como a todas las mujeres del mundo. Quien sabe a donde mas iría el Sr. Luster de no haber sido capturado por los Srs. Chapman. Les agradezco de todo corazón si pudieran ayudar al Sr. Chapman. El es muy querido en los Estados Unidos. Es un defensor de la justicia.

Gracias

Statement From Dog & Beth Chapman

Our family has become the target of frivolous lawsuits and publicity-seeking attorneys. We pride ourselves in making sure that everything we do is within the bounds of the law and we are confident that we did so in this case. The videotape in the television show itself demonstrates that the charges against us are baseless. The fugitive's mother, who was the co-signer of the bond, specifically asked us to revoke her son's bond and we complied with her wishes. We treat our clients with compassion. In this particular case, as the program itself shows, we took Mr. Calistro to the hospital where he was found to have no new (Calistro had suffered two broken ankles in a prior construction accident) injuries."

Woman snaps at 'Dog' in injury suit
HONOLULU — A woman has sued Duane “Dog” Chapman, alleging that a member of the TV bounty hunter’s team threw her down a flight of stairs in 2005 and broke her back while her boyfriend was being apprehended.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Audrey Emery and seeks unspecified damages. Two other plaintiffs, including the boyfriend, seek damages from the bounty-hunting team in the same lawsuit.

Emery says the injury occurred during filming of Dog the Bounty Hunter and the arrest of Stuart Calistro.

Duane Chapman and his wife, Beth, released a statement saying their family has become a “target of frivolous lawsuits and publicity seeking attorneys.” Meanwhile, Chapman is waiting for a ruling by a Mexican judge about his pending extradition in a criminal case there.

Woman Sues TV Bounty Hunter Over Injury.

Woman Sues TV Bounty Hunter Over Injury!

HONOLULU, February 2, 2007 -
A woman has filed a lawsuit against Duane "Dog" Chapman, alleging the TV bounty hunter and his crew threw her down a flight of stairs and broke her back while apprehending her boyfriend. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Audrey Emery and seeks unspecified damages to be determined by at trial.
It accuses Chapman and his fellow bounty hunters of injuring Emery at her Pearl City apartment on Jan. 26, 2005 in the course of arresting Stuart Calistro and filming for the A&E reality series "Dog the Bounty Hunter"
"They're filming this TV segment and she is upset because you have these thugs breaking into her apartment and she doesn't want them in there, so they decide the convenient thing is to throw her down the stairs," Emery's attorney Richard Turbin said Thursday.
Chapman and his wife, Beth, released a statement saying their family has become a "target of frivolous lawsuits and publicity seeking attorneys."
"We pride ourselves in making sure that everything we do is within the bounds of the law and we are confident that we did so in this case," he said. "The videotape in the television show itself demonstrates that the charges against us are baseless."
Meanwhile, Chapman is waiting for a ruling by a Mexican judge about his pending extradition in a criminal case there.
The 53-year-old reality star, currently free on $300,000 bond, has been charged under Mexican law with "deprivation of liberty" for his June 2003 capture of fugitive convicted rapist Andrew Luster, the Max Factor heir, in Puerto Vallarta.
His publicist said a decision in the case is expected by Tuesday.
