Revocation of Order Refused in Whitaker Extradition Case
Lieutenant Governor Walter Woodul refused to consider a plea to revoke the Texas extradition order for Franklin P. Whitaker Jr. Whitaker, 32, an oil company employee, is charged in Atlanta with kidnapping for taking his son from Georgia to Houston. He also faces a flight-from-interstate-commerce charge in Houston. Whitaker's attorney Andrew Buckner sought habeas corpus relief in state court and planned to challenge any federal removal order as well. Georgia’s extradition was sought after Governor Allred granted it in Austin. Two Atlanta officers arrived in Houston with the extradition order, but Whitaker has not been arrested.
