Re: Extradition Between States
VERY complex issue. There are several legal principles that govern the correct answer for this question. Some of the theories are; Res Judicata, double jeopardy, habeas, and the statute of limitations. In a nut shell it all depends on how the charges are filed and followed up on. The answer for misdemeanors is it depends on a prior record, and what the exact crime is, but typically there is no extradiction for a misdemeanor in Florida. See Stack v. State 333 So. 2d 509 (4th DCA 1976). Good Luck....
