McConnell Habeas Case Highlights Interstate Rendition Rule
Judge Cheney reviews the Humboldt habeas petition of William McConnell, with Whittaker as California agent and New York arrest warrant. The opinion discusses whether a court may suspend further action when a warrant from the surrendering state appears regular on its face and transportation passes through the addressed state. The article notes storm impacts, a Nevada blockaded line, and a quirkily extended set of notices and ads surrounding the case.
