Mexican Court Delays Case

October 20, 2006: During a press conference in Honolulu, the Chapman legal defense team announced that the Mexican federal court will delay the criminal case against Dog, Tim and Leland until more evidence and testimony can be collected.

While bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico, William Bollard, a member of the Chapman legal defense team who has been working closely with Mexican authorities, told reporters, "We have a very high degree of confidence that we will be able to successfully defend against those charges."

Since the arrests, members of Congress and loyal fans have sparked nationwide protests. Twenty-nine congressmen have sent a joint letter to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice asking her to deny the bounty hunting team's extradition to Mexico.

Dog was not wearing his electronic monitoring ankle bracelet after a judge early last week agreed he could remove it. In step with her husband, Beth stated "We will be vindicated because we did the right thing."
