    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...
