He has several friends on this forum, I guess you are one of them right?

Nikad, if I were you I would beg off and just crawl back under the rock you came out from under before any of YOUR victims decide to hit you with a libel suit! Who appointed you Fiscal General of Argentina or at the very least the Director of Investigations? All you do on this forum is stick your face in other peoples' stuff without knowing the facts, without affording the presumption of innocence, in any of the matters you have attacked and defamed people in, and tried them in this forum, which sadly only fans the flames of bias and hatred, endangers the lives and liberties of those accused who just might be entitled to due process and, or who are innocent, which BTW also puts the forum in an interesting but admittedly arguable postion legally as well for allowing it.
It is undeniable that one person you spoke of has a history. He paid his price and punishment and I dare say penitence and is rehabilitated and rest easy, no longer in Argentina. As for the so-called technicalities in The Supreme Court decision to not extradite him overturning the lower court's ruling, I caution you to consider that it was the only 7-0 decision of the Supreme Court seated at the time! Additionally, it was not overturned on technicalities, it was overturned by by the facts. The court ruled unanymously in favor of the defendant because of grievous errors on the part of the lower court. NJ had not provided any proof that his leaving the U.S. was a breach of parole, nor did they even provide proof he was even on parole. Nor did the extradition request charge him with "Fleeing". (Kind of interesting that somehow someone could be extradicted without such a charge, huh? Watch out people.) Prosecutors globally will attempt to charge and indict a ham sandwich and see if they can succeed. They will throw whatever they can against the wall and see what sticks without regard to the fact that they are charged with protecting the rights of ALL the members of the public and that includes defendants! He had served his sentence and was eligible for release without parole, and indeed was released by NJ. Additionally, the Court found that there were no charges pending that he was arrested for nor indicted upon at the time of the arrest in Argentina, but only an investigation. What is it Edgar Allan Poe said, "Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see"?
The fact that you acknowledge "he" (which ever he you are talking about as people on the forum have come out in support of all the accused) has friends on this forum and elsewhere, that have been willing to stand up for him here and elsewhere should tell you something. I am his friend. I am also an attorney! I will leave that portion, at that.
Did it ever stop to occur to you that a) there are more than one person with similar names, (Jack, Jake, Jacob, Brooker, Brooke. Brokker in BA, just to name a few we have found) that there are physical similarities based on ethnicity, and you could be defaming all persons with the same or similar names, as is the case of
@AnnabelleSF denying a job opportunity, defaming and libeling someone innocent, not even associated with the matter, and publishing it for global public access. Now, there's a textbook example, much less the textbook definition of libel.
Now, there's that slight detail that the man arrested for this alleged crime never needed to be brought to trial because there was no need to. Sleep on that. And, you probably will because you have no conscience, just venom. Finally, just some educated advice woman-to-woman, go get some counselling for your own issues. They are really obvious to many here, and have been pointed out, and I truly hope you address them, because they can be very costly to you! We don't see too much publicity from any press venue when Joe Average or even Joe Kindaweird is released from charges, not in Argentina, nowhere but the UK, where it is required if they ran anything about the arrest.
To those of you who had the guts and spine to stand for due process and the presumption of innocence, and see the confusion throughout this thread, I applaud you. To those of you who stood for your friend, as I have, and will, regardless, I respect you,. For those of you who can leave the past in the past (Come on people, stories of consenual encounters surfacing and publishing 4 to 6 years after the event from "adults" and admitted one-time posters. That alone apart from the bizarre content of same, doesn't make ya wonder?) and not raise hysteria because for some reason you just enjoy it, thank you! Can any of us say we have never ethically, morally, or legally crossed the line? Were we just fortunate enough to escape uncaught regardless of severity? I am sure there are some here who believe that they are innocent in the truest sense of the word, and as they were on the day they were born, at that. There but for the Grace of G-d walk I.
Life sentences exist for a reason and for specific crimes. One who has paid their price, made restitution and has changed for the better should not be plagued by their past by the malintentions of others. Yet, the society we have made for ourselves seems to be unforgiving and lacks greatly in empathy. Never say never. Sadly, your husband, boyfriend, dad, brother, son could be next. Imagine how that would feel if they were innocent? Imagine how it would feel if they weren't and paid the price, reformed, and were still haunted not only by threats and extortion attempts, but by the malice of people who they never even met, were totally uninvolved in the events, and operated from hearsay? Imagine if people accused your loved one or friend solely because they could not see that they are not the person that they are perceived to be, but the person who has survived the challenges that were brought against them.
