Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I need help. My boyfriend was arrested for grand theft, then they said it was receiving stolen property, and now their holding him because he has a warrant in kansas and they want to extradite him.

the reason he had stolen property is because he took a job which ended up being a scam. and the guy was taking his identity and locating sellers of jewelry on ebay and telling them he made the payment on paypal and the people would send the item. the detectives know this already, and i tracked the scammers IP address and found his location and gave it to the detectives.

for his warrant in Kansas, is there a way we could ask them to handle the case, here, in california instead? cause if he leaves, after he handles what ever it is, he will be homeless because he lives here now. we are also willing to give up information in a U.S. money laundering ring, if they give him a deal like letting him stay in california and having probation or something

Hello, I am in Westlake Village, 91601, so I assume your case is in Ventura.

You should immediately stop doing all the things you are doing to help. Let his attorney negotiate with the police, because you are a witness, and they can get information out of you that will hurt your boyfriends cases, NO MATTER how innocent (he says) he is. That is how they work.

The DA does not care a whiff about anyone ending up homeless, they send people to prison, that is their job.

The best thing you can do is STOP doing anything on your own, except helping his attorney, if they want your help.

Have no contact with the police or DA even though you are trying to help.

The Kansas case cannot be resolved in California.

Posting online that you want to rat out a "U.S. money laundering ring" is a good way to wake up dead. If possible, take your post down, and let his attorney know that you have info you would trade the DA for a deal here. the DA cannot make a deal on behalf of Kansas.

And fighting extradition is expensive, and never successful within the United States.
