Dog The Bounty Hunter

Anyone out there follow Dog the Bounty Hunter? We'll he's in quite deep right now, was arrested by the US Marshall's last week. Not sure if you have read about it or not. There was a special last night on A & E about it called Dog the Bounty Hunter - Family Speaks. This all happened last Thursday - Dog, Leland and Tim spent the night in federal prison. To make a story short, they hunted for Andrew Luster (Heir of Max Factor Cosmetics) in 2003 and caught him in Mexico. Andrew Luster had skipped court and was charged with 87 counts of serial rape. Dog, Tim and Leland found him in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico in 2003. Turns out that Mexico does not allow Bounty Hunting and they were arrested in put in prison for a week. Luster was sent to the US and was give 124 years in prison. Last Thursday the US Marshalls surrounded Dog, Tim and Leland's houses and arrested them. Turns out Mexican Police want them extradited to Mexico to serve a prison sentence! Imagine! If anything, they helped take an American's Most Wanted Top 10 case to prison. It's not fair and not right. If you get a chance, check out A&E for that episode, it explains it better!

I definately don't understand the justice system!

Here is from Dog's website:

During his trial in 2003, Luster fled the country to Mexico. In June 2003, Dog and his team tracked the fugitive Luster in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where he was living under an alias, and arrested him.As bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, Dog, Tim and Leland were arrested by the Mexican authorities andLuster was handed over to the United States government by the Mexicans. He was subsequently found guilty and is currently serving a 124 year prison sentence. Bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, and Dog, Tim and Leland were arrested by the Mexican authorities. After being released on bail, Dog, his family and team, returned to Hawaii and to their lives as bounty hunters.

Update, Friday, September 15th, 2006
