Dog Free: "We're Not Saying We Told You So ..."

The DogDuane "Dog" Chapman found out conclusively today that he won't be locked up in a Mexican jail -- and he could barely contain his relief. Que bueno!

In a statement to AETV.com, the famed Bounty Hunter told fans, "I'm just like in shock right now," after a Mexican court granted him his freedom this morning. Still, he refused to take the opportunity to talk trash; instead, the clearly emotionally drained Dog -- one of TV's toughest tough guys -- just lost it.

Meanwhile, his Huntress, Beth Chapman, gave us the news update, namely that a court in Puerto Vallarta considered the motion of Dog's lawyers -- which said that the statute of limitations had run out -- and decided to let Dog and his two associates go free. "Many many mahalos," says Beth to Dog's supporters, "and aloha."

91. He's a convicted murderer, drunk driver, married 5 times and has a dozen kids. Rated out his own friends to get a lesser sentence in texas.
Ya, nice hero y'all got yourselves there.

95. Spurs......................Right on!

No one is perfect, we have all traveled a different path.
I for one would not want to travel in another person's moccasin's/shoe's.
It is easier to see the defects in others, and no see our own.

Lead a life less traveled............Choose Truth

97. I read through all the comments and was pretty astounded by some of the attitudes expressed. Dog was in a foreign country and he broke one of their laws - all the people who ranted about the illegal aliens in this country are hypocrites if they think he should get away with breaking the law just because he was in Mexico. If Luster had committed his crimes in Mexico, fled to the US and been taked by a Mexican citizen without our law enforcement being involved would you all feel the same way - probably not.

98. Spurs....You need to find something to do, like get your facts straight and your proff as well, so we can all see who wins this battle! You spew crap to other posters, saying they are wrong, so enlighten us, without attacking myself or any other posters, and set the record straight! If you are really in the know, then set it straight with the facts. You seem to have all of the true sources...Enlighten us all, because id love to hear it. Then we wont have any conflict~ you say ppl need to have PROOF...then post yours. then all of this crap will be over with~

99. I saw Andrew Luster's story at Lifetime. The man is evil and unrepentant. He drugged women and raped them while they were unconscious, taping the whole thing on video. They woke up the next morning unaware of the sickening abuse done to them. The court let him out on bail and he fled to Mexico. Chapman found him there and brought him back to the US. For this, victims and their families and women in general have a reason to thank the "Dog".

102. Dog doesn't hide his past. He turned his life around and tries to send a posative message.

104. FlBiker your up to your old tricks from last nite I see. Why don't you get over it? I'm with you Spurs. Get off of your pedestal thinking that you're perfect and never made any mistakes ever in your life. You seem so bitter. I think you may have had an encounter with the Dog. If memory serves from one of your posts last nite you've never "had so much as a speeding ticket". Cmon, You don't have to lie to kick it with us.

105. Hey Spurs follow the links. This is all public record.
Sorry you have a crush on a "bad boy" sweetheart.

Duane Lee Chapman was born to Wesley and Barbara Chapman. He grew up with three younger siblings in Denver, Colorado. Before becoming a bounty hunter, Chapman had frequent run-ins with the law while serving as sergeant at arms for a motorcycle gang, including 18 arrests for armed robbery. In 1977, Chapman was convicted of murder and was sentenced to 5 years of hard labor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duane_Chapman

Alaska state troopers say Barbara Katy Chapman, and a friend who was driving, were killed when the stolen s-u-v went off the road, rolled, hit some trees and landed upside down.

Troopers also believe that the couple tried using a stolen credit card to rent a room at a nearby resort. Troopers suspect drugs or alcohol may have played a role in the crash http://www.khnl.com/Global/story.asp?S=4931281
