Burbank Officer Matthew Pavelka's killer was brought into custody by Mexican authorities & extradited back to US, why hasn't the same been done for the killer of Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputy David March?:scrutiny: :banghead:

I don't know much about either case, but my guess is that Burbank authorities agreed not to pursue the death penalty in the prosecution of Officer Pavelka's killer, and that LA authorities aren't willing to make such a commitment.

Has the killer of Deputy March been captured?

[Devonai]

Augustwest is correct. Mexico is concerned that we might give this guy what he (allegedly) deserves.

But as I understand it, the LA District Attorney is pursuing the special circumstances making Pavleka's killer eligible for the death penalty :scrutiny: :confused:

I'll start thinking about cop killers only after we do something about killer cops.

I know absolutely nothing about this case, but might it be that the one they won't return was a Mexican citizen here illegally, and the one they did return a US citizen?

[Kharn]

What could the Mexicans do if the LA prosecutor said he wouldnt go for the death penalty (in order to get the guy extradited) and turned around and went for it?

What the Mexicans could do would be to refuse to ever extradite another person for anything, which would create an asylum for US criminals.

Probably wouldn't affect you much in Maryland, but those of us living on the Mexican border would like criminals to feel unsafe on BOTH sides. Imagine the havoc if you could commit a crime in Tucson, like bank robbery, then pop across the border and have no fear of the law.

Furthermore, don't you think our government officials tell enough lies now? I thought the idea was less, not more.

Pretty lame statement! :scrutiny:

How about they agree to what the Mexicans want then, find an inmate to do them a special favor for some reduced time.

In the news story I read Mexico considered Pavelka's killer an 'undesirable' and didn't want to protect him. They deported him rather than extradited him to U.S. authorities.
