There are some strange cases about now this person I don’t know if he’s an American citizen and I don’t know if Alice is an American citizen, but if an American citizen is suspected of murdering another American citizen in another country will USA charge the person with a crime and send investigators to that country to get evidence or not.
I think of the case where a Hong Kong person brought his girlfriend to Taiwan, who was also another Hong Kong citizen and killed her and then left for Hong Kong. Hong Kong did not charge him with murder as the crime did not take place in Hong Kong and did not send any investigators to Taiwan. Taiwan could not extradite him without the Hong Kong authorities approval the Hong Kong authorities, i.e. China wanted to do it under an unofficial stance . Taiwan refused Taiwan wanted him handed over officially so now you have a case of a Hong Kong citizen murdering another Hong Kong citizen In Taiwan getting away with a charge of murder they could only charge him with using the dead person’s bank cards to withdraw money so some sort of monetary fraud I think he got a couple years in jail and that’s it so now the guy is a Free man in Hong Kong but he is still wanted In Taiwan for murder. These are absurd situations. I think a country should investigate citizens for crimes committed abroad, and should certainly look into whether there’s enough evidence to charge the person.
People never pay out these big settlements. The most that can happen is the court can liquidate assets or garnish his wages (who knows if this scumbag is even employed) but the family will never see even a fraction of that money. I guess it’s the judgment in the eyes of the court that also matters, but still…
He’s been convicted of perjury, not murder as it happened in Taiwan and the US and Canada do not have extradition treaties with Taiwan as you’re probably aware. I think he is serving some time for these lesser charges but not nearly what he should be serving. It’s a mockery of justice right now.
The 26m payout is part of a civil case. Anyone can bring a civil case and the burden of proof is much lower. OJ Simpson lost his civil case to the parents of his victims despite being found “not guilty” in his murder trial. You cannot receive prison afaik in civil judgments.
According to deep seek the US can put on trial citizens accused of certain major crimes while abroad but rarely does so
And in the HK case it’s become a diplomatic snag where the guilty remains free because Taiwan and HK (China) can’t agree on the transfer. The suspicion is that Taiwan would care more if the murdered girl was a tw citizen
so the bad guy won’t go to jail for murder because the U.S. didn’t want to try him for that crime
Some laws need to be bent so the accused can stand trial for serious crimes abroad Govts should unite to bring crims to justice
I’ll get around to it just looking for quick synopsis
Again seems it’s a govt to govt impasse that needs to be corrected for justice to be served
U.S. won’t extradite to Taiwan because no treaty and won’t try this monster because he is Canadian and not a U.S. citizen so they can’t get him on the murder trial
Govts worldwide need to get together to facilitate murderers to be returned to the country where the crime occurred
@tommy525 my brother. Just watch the Dateline report. It’s well worth the 1 hour and 23 minutes and you’ll have all the facts and won’t need to make any assumptions, many of which border on being ridiculous.
