Legal Status of Charlton in Extradition Question
The United States may extradite Criariton or try him here under a treaty with Italy. Precedent weighs against extradition as Italy has refused to return murderers. A U S trial abroad would be unusual. Charlton’s father seeks insanity commitment. If tried in Italy, a lenient, short sentence is likely. Italy must demand extradition within forty days.
