"Dog" Chapman Not Out of the Woods

Dog ChapmanThe Dog isn't completely free and clear yet.

While all charges against Duane "Dog" Chapman have been dropped, A&E has learned that an appeal was filed by the prosecution, trying to overturn the lower court's decision. But don't fret -- A&E says that in Mexico these appeals are just a matter of principle. Arriba!

A&E, which broadcasts "Dog the Bounty Hunter," tells TMZ, "Our thoughts and best wishes are with the Chapman family as they await the outcome of the appeal, which could take many months."

Until then, boycott Mexico.

151. People may not agree on the Chapmans life or methods, but our own marshals and legal officials couldnt find a spoilled rich arrogant convicted rapist, so somone who knows what their doing did the job for them. I think our Feds should feel ashamed for stabing our own citizens in the back and hanging them out to dry, not that it would be the first time our justice system did this type of thing.Congratulations to the Chapman Family! Keep up the good work! Dont forget to find out the Political Rules first nextime!

153. wake up people... this is not a joke... dog and his crew went after a SERIAL RAPIST... who cares if they went to mexico,china,or to another planet to capture this foul example of a human...this RAPIST will not ever again hurt another woman in his lifetime but his days will now be filled with covering his own butt from his new inmate boyfriends...bounty hunters are needed as the police cannot be everywhere and too many criminals slip through the cracks...bounty hunters are not hunting innocent people and who cares if some RAPIST gets roughed up a bit...this should NOT be a chance to bash mexico or mexican citizens but a chance to rejoice that women EVERYWHERE have one less enemy walking among them. THANKS DOG,TIM,and LELAND...

154. #81 spoken like a true rapist, you make me sick!
Dog is doing a good job trying to help people, some people need to be in jail others can get it right after a brief stay. If Mexico wants all of our rapists, maybe we should send them some our prisons are full of them

155. Dog is a hypocrit, he arrests people who jump their bonds and what does he do ? Gets arrested in Mexico and never show up for his court date, hmmmmm great msg to spread there. Yet someone else who thinks because he does some good in the world he can live above the law. I lost all respect for this man and his so called mission!

156. I absolutely love Dog the Bounty Hunter and his Crew!! I give kuddos to all of them for what they do and the lives they change. All of you who can only comment on the outside appearance of this group....check yourself out in the mirror. Betcha not as cute as you think you are!
Go Dog!!!!
If you ever host a contest for a fan to ride along....I am so there!

157. I'm glad Chapman went down there and got the piece of crap. It's not that I'm a huge fan of Dog The Bounty Hunter, but, I think he shouldn't be in any trouble for what he did. If you think for one second that Mexico has the best interest of ANYTHING American, you're sorely mistaken.

158. We need more people in the world like Dog and his family, I am sick of hearing these ignorant comments posted about him and his family, they are probably only coming from low life dredges of society or are too jealous to admit he did something incredible like get a serial rapist off the streets. This rapist would have spent the last days of his life in Mexico living large.
Some of you people aren't thinking of the women that were raped and if not for Dog he would still be out there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

159. Dog is a known crack user. His show is pure hypocrisy.
He broke Mexican law while in Mexico, he should pay for it. Period.

160. Wait a minute here: he broke the law in Mexico, then didn't show up for his court date, and his own show is all about catching fleeing criminals? Um, does anybody see that this is blatant disregard for the very same justice he pretends to be rooting for?

161. I cannot believe all these people posting messages with support of Mexico. How many criminal Mexicans are in the US now? Millions.. Not only that, but we're forgetting what the whole thing is about: Some loser named Luster who raped more women then he could care to remember.

If you all are so worried about justice, then perhaps you should be asking Mexico why they couldn't do what they are asking of the US government: Extradite a convicted felon.... Why? I'll tell you why.. Justice in Mexico is non-existent.

I agree whole-heartedly with TMZ. Boycott Mexico and all of the loser Mexicans who all of the sudden know enough English to post anti-American and Dog nonsense and pro-Mexico, a country who couldn't find a felon with all of the resources they say they have, but for some reason three men could.

I would like to say, thank you to Dog for doing more than some third-world country ever could and make our streets that much safer.

Boycott Mexico and long live the Dog...

162. First of all, Dog did, what, THREE MONTHS IN JAIL? Secondly, the standard range for bounty hunting in Mexico is probation or 7 days in jail. See Mexican Guadalajara statutes. Thirdly, and most importantly, we don't know what was said to Dog about his case. There are many claims that Dog was told that his case was over and that he would be released without further prosecution until an appelate court decided.

So he returns home and THREE YEARS LATER the feds come busting in his house for extradition back to Mexico.

If he had a court date he had to be at in Mexico, why did the morons in Mexico wait THREE YEARS to ask the State Department to round him up.

The fact of the matter is Dog went to court on this issue MANY TIMES. He spent a long time in jail. He was released. Now he's jumping bond? PLEASE.

SERIOUSLY, IF YOU THINK DOG JUMPED BOND, PLEASE ANSWER THE ABOVE FACTS... He didn't jump bond and was told by his attorney not to return to Mexico because the justice system wanted him for no other reason of the embarrasment of the Mexican government for not being able to capture the guy that three unarmed Americans caught.

If you think there's such a thing as justice and due process in Mexico, get a clue. Dog broke the law and spent three months in jail. I think he paid his debt to Mexico.

BOYCOTT MEXICO

163. This message is directed at Pistor, Snarksnarksnark, and BowWow.

I've read your postings and the following is obvious. You people are typical ultra liberals whose radical thinking obviously defies all common sense. Personally I would much rather be apprehended by dog the bounty hunter than by the police if I were a fugitive. He is not a bully, in fact he gives criminals more slack than they probably deserve.

Furthermore it is insane to give non citizens especially illegal aliens the same constitutional rights as american citizens. No where in the constitution does it say we have to do that. That should be earned not given as a handout. And no way should it ever apply to illegal aliens and especially terrorists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

164. Bella da Ball,

You are a typical liberal who is trying to bring this country down!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dog the bounty hunter is the George Patton of the 21st century!!!!!!!!

165. Ok so let me see if I get this straight....some of the posters on here are okay with known rapists and other criminals running around the country getting hurt more people and doing whatever the heck they want. Most of the people that have been caught by DOG couldn't be found until he went and got them. So tell me how that is a bad thing. Also, to say he is a known crack head...soooo people can't get their head on straight and start their life over is that what your telling me....You haven't done anything wrong ever in your life that you regret, I find that hard to believe. Also, the last time I checked when he catches these criminals he tries to help them get back on the right track. As far as him jumping bail ...not true soooo before you start criticizing ANYONE(meaning not just DOG) you may want to get all the facts. As far as I'm concerned he is trying to make the country a little safer and for that I say WAY TO GO DOG AND HIS FAMILY!!!!
