Apparently, even having stored a stinking rotting festering carcass of
an abused ex-girlfriend in a trunk in a closet for two years just
barely meets their test of proof just to get an extradition order
honored, and only after they've extorted you into completely distorting
your legal system to benefit their snotty sensibilities.
Even then, expect to go to their highest court to get it done.
Germany ain't much better. A key co-conspirator to the mass murder of
3,000 people gets only 15 years (10 years with good behavior) for 3,000
convictions of accessory to murder. Apparently as far as the Germans
are concerned, an American life is only worth a little less than two
days in prison, and at that the judge thought he was being as harsh as
he could be...
