What are the reasons why a defendant refused to waive extradition?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Sutton, 19 Cal.App.4th 795, 23 Cal.Rptr.2d 632 (Cal. App. 1993):

The majority suggests several innocent reasons why defendant may have chosen to exercise his extradition rights and complains the probative value of defendant's refusal to waive extradition is "limited." However, the standard for admissibility is whether proffered testimony tends logically, naturally, or by reasonable inference to establish a material fact, not whether it conclusively proves it. (People v. Yu (1983) 143 Cal.App.3d 358, 191 Cal.Rptr. 859.) That defendant's exercise of extradition rights could have been prompted by other reasons does not preclude a finding that it in fact reflected a continued intent to evade the process of the courts.
