Celebrity Justice
Dog Chapman is (Finally) Free!

After years of legal wrangling, a Mexican appellate court has put the Duane Dog Chapman case to rest -- for good.

In today's decision, a Mexican judge ruled that the Dog, his son Leland and his brother Tim cannot be sent back to Mexico to face charges stemming from their apprehension of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster. Luster, who fled the U.S. during his trial on rape and sexual assault charges, now sits in prison serving a 124-year sentence. Chapman and his cohorts tracked Luster to Mexico to bring him to justice, but were arrested themselves as bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico.

Just moments after hearing the news, the Dog told TMZ, "Thank God this nightmare is over," adding, "Fugitives meet the opposition!"

61. It floors me that all the other stations are left-wing liberals and no one ever calls them names. But Fox New is giving both sides of the political view and that drives liberals crazy. What about CNN, which will tell our enemies where are troops are for a story. No put down on that of MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS why? I never heard Fox say they hate gays. When?

62. #63 Tim also had a similar incident in Colorado and there is an apology note to the court (which the National Enquirer has an exclusive). True? Davina did leave Tim -That was a shock. She is so family oriented. Leland, I do not think that he owns it but he does run it. That is a confusing situation. It has never been raised. I would love to see Leland running his unit with Duane jr.

64. Maybe we need to send Dog, Tim and Leland back to Mexico to find Cesar Laurens and bring him back to stand trial for killing Maria Lauterback!

65. im with number 5 on this one shame dawg cant go get Laurean since the Marines arent looking for him being AWOL or even maybe that little fact that he raped and murdered another marine...I bet Dawg could get him and then maybe he could redeem himself a bit by bringing such a low life to justice,..but I bet dawg wont go anywhere near the boarder now...dawg did do wrong but seems he is human and alot of us say things we regret ...alot of us say things not as bad as dawg but thank god we dont get our private conversations broadcast to the world...the good does seem to far out weigh a really bad choice in words he made...maybe they should bring dawg back on air with a african american partner ...

72. For what he did in bringing Andrew Luster back to face justice he should have been treated like a hero not a criminal. He still needs to learn not to use the N-word but I'm glad he won't face extradiction to Mexico. He didn't deserve it.

74. Congrads to you and your family. People say you have no manners but I think when your dealing with certain people no manners are necessary. You have your personality for a reason as you have been there and done that. You recovered as well as Beth. I hope your family well and that your battles are over. I miss watching your show.
