Extradition Abroad


Bob Angelton was a bookie in Houston, Texas who allegedly had his wife murdered. He paid his brother Roger to do the job. Roger, not trusting Bob decided to record the transaction to which planned her murder on a tape recorder. You think it were a slam dunk, except the shitty recording couldn't corroborate that the voice heard on the tape was Bob conspiring. Even though he knew there was a dog in the house, how to get in and other details say...a hit man wouldn't know. Jurors are retards.
Roger went ahead and murdered his sister-in-law. And in an attempt to disappear, he was caught at a Las Vegas airport with two pistols. What a knucklehead. Anyway, they arrest Roger and Bob. While in prison, Roger committed suicide but in a final letter absolved his brother of all wrong doing. No one believed this letter.
The state decided to go ahead an prosecute Bob anyway. They had everything stacked against him. Except…you never took into account stupid juries. We should be so lucky if we were criminals to get juries like these. He was acquitted.
He walked. Meanwhile, the Feds decided to fuck with him. He was a bookie after all. They hit him with the IRS tax on his gambling. Cost him a million. He paid it. Then they kept an eye on him, to make sure he didn’t reopen his bookmaking gig. He couldn’t resist. He started gambling again. They nailed him. AND because there is no double jeopardy, the Feds this time decided to hit him with conspiracy to commit murder across state lines, firearm possession without license and passport fraud. Bob didn’t stick around for the trial. He ran like a bitch. He got stopped in Amsterdam with hundred of thousands of dollars and fake identifications. The Feds wanted him bad. But Amsterdam refused to extradite him if the Fed want to charge him with conspiracy to commit murder. Yep, you heard that right, they refuse to return this sonuvabitch to us because they don’t want us to punish him in a way they don’t see fit. Yo, you Dutch fuckers…FUCK YOU. It’s inconceivable to me that we even deal with pussy nations like this. That they can draw the terms. It’s ridiculous. But, the Feds wanted him bad. So they cave. To wooden shoes, windmill sucking pussies.
Bob was returned to the United States and was hit with the passport fraud and identification fraud. A few years in prison. The one thing that wasn’t on the table is, after he’s finish with his time, the Feds will want to hit him with the conspiracy to murder for hire. It’s a small loophole, but what I was getting at is…why are we even discussing our criminals in other countries. Do these assholes know we could send a handful of soldiers to put a boot to your foreheads and take what we want? These countries that don’t extradite fucking piss me off. Yes, you too Canada. There’s too much aid that we provide to allow them to prevent justice for our citizens. There should never be a denial when a criminal is attempting to escape prosecution. If there was a serial killer in America that committed his crimes in Croatia and they wanted to hang him…that’s plane fare I don’t mind spending.

By the way, Bob is free as of 2012. Having served a 7 year sentence for tax evasion in a Federal prison.

  1. Sounds to me, with all due respect, our legal system is way too fucked up to even worry about extradition. This guy shouldn't have gotten away with it, but he did and he made his move. Prosecutors botched it.

  2. Big time. Like OJ. It is funny that if you piss off the gov't, they'll find another way to getcha'. Al Capone for instance.
