The Governor may recall his warrant of arrest or may issue another warrant whenever he deems it proper.
California Penal Code Section 1554.1
Whenever the Governor of this State shall demand the return of a person charged with crime in this State or with escaping from confinement or violating the terms of his bail, probation or parole in this State, from the executive authority of any other State or of any foreign government or the chief justice or an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia authorized to receive such demand, he shall issue a warrant under the seal of this State to an agent, commanding him to receive the person so demanded and to convey him to the proper officer in the county in this State in which the offense was committed.
California Penal Code Section 1554.2
(a) When the return to this state of a person charged with crime in this state is required, the district attorney shall present to the Governor his written application for a requisition for the return of the person charged. In such application there shall be stated the name of the person so charged, the crime charged against him, the approximate time, place and circumstances of its commission, and the state in which he is believed to be, including the location of the accused therein at the time the application is made. Such application shall certify that, in the opinion of the district attorney, the ends of justice require the arrest and return of the accused to this state for trial and that the proceeding is not instituted to enforce a private claim.
(b) When the return to this state is required of a person who has been convicted of a crime in this state and who has escaped from confinement or has violated the terms of his bail, probation or parole the district attorney of the county in which the offense was committed, the Board of Prison Terms, the Director of Corrections, the California Institution for Women, the Youth Authority, or the sheriff of the county from which escape from confinement was made, shall present to the Governor a written application for a requisition for the return of such person. In such application there shall be stated the name of the person, the crime of which he was convicted, the circumstances of his escape or of the violation of the terms of his bail, probation or parole, and the state in which he is believed to be, including the location of such person therein at the time application is made.
(c) The application shall be verified, shall be executed in duplicate, and shall be accompanied by two certified copies of the indictment, the information, or the verified complaint made to the magistrate stating the offense with which the accused is charged, or the judgment of conviction or the sentence. The officer or board requesting the requisition may also attach such affidavits and other documents in duplicate as are deemed proper to be submitted with such application. One copy of the application, with the action of the Governor indicated by endorsement thereon, and one of the certified copies of the indictment, verified complaint, information, or judgment of conviction or sentence shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of State. The other copies of all papers shall be forwarded with the Governor’s requisition.
(d) Upon receipt of an application under this section, the Governor or agent authorized in writing by the Governor whose authorization has been filed with the Secretary of State, may sign a requisition for the return of the person charged and any other document incidental to that requisition or to the return of the person charged.
California Penal Code Section 1554.3
After a person has been brought back to this state by extradition proceedings, the person shall be committed to a county jail with bail set in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) in addition to the amount of bail appearing on the warrant. A 48-hour noticed bail hearing, excluding weekends and holidays, is required to deviate from this prescribed bail amount. Nothing in this section is intended to preclude the application of subdivision (e) of Section 1270.1 to enhance the bail amount for the felony charge appearing on the warrant.
Hiring a California Extradition Attorney: How we are engaged
Some of our clients arrive alone, without other representation. We become central to assembling the necessary team for a comprehensive defense including attorneys and experts in the United States and Internationally. We have extensive experience and contacts around the world.
Others however reach us through their foreign counsel and engage our services to become part of the defense team they are putting together.
Fees and Expenses:
Every case has a completely different set of facts and circumstances that make quoting a case highly individual. Cases involving international extradition laws can be extremely expensive due to the time needed for long-distance travel. Cases within the United States on the other hand may involve little more work than the defense itself and so can sometimes be included in the defense fee itself.
Due to the nature of many extradition cases, significant time may be required to prepare for a meaningful consultation and often can also require travel. As such, attorney’s fees will likely be incurred for the consultation itself. All such fees will be applied in full to your retainer should you decide to engage our services. Call us today to schedule your free consultation.
