The First Criminal Court of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, has dropped all criminal charges against Duane "Dog" Chapman...better known to the rest of us as Dog the Bounty Hunter.
Chapman was facing charges of deprivation of liberty for the capture of convicted rapist Andrew Luster, former heir to the Max Factor fortune. It was this capture that led to Dog's fame. These charges were initially levied against Chapman because bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, which is where Luster had fled to after jumping bail.
Luster is currently serving a 124-year prison sentence (he was charged with over 80 counts of rape).
Even though the decision can be appealed by the prosecution until August 8th, this is still good news. Chapman wasn't charged until right before the statue of limitations expired, and it was only done in exchange for a Mexican drug lord. So we got the drug lord we were looking for, and it also looks like Chapman will walk away a free man.
Sounds like how it 'oughta be...score one for the good guys.
