Extradition

I think that the article should mention that the extradition battle was mainly over Canadian objections to capital punishment. I think that they have some policy where they are very hesitant if not unwilling to extradite anyone who is facing a crime punishable by capital punishment.

Yeah... funny how they let Ng go and extradited him with the quickness! It's a given that Canada has pansy laws against extraditing for capital punishment. Eek328 (talk) 21:15, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

1985 to 1991, I guess in some quarters that would be called "with the quickness." Six years seems like a fairly long time to me. 116.231.75.71 (talk) 11:47, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your timing seems to be seriously off wrong. The article explicitly says he had to serve his Canadian sentence, I assume the whole four and a half years, before extradition proceedings could begin. He was arrested in July 1985, I assume time served was taken into account so we can consider his sentence begins from this date, meaning he was due for release in February 1990. The Reference Re Ng Extradition judgement was in September 1991 I think with extradition soon after. So it was about 1 year and 7 months between extradition proceedings beginning (I guess they began very soon after release) and his extradition. This is a relatively quick time for most countries with a well developed legal system. I mean despite having all the time while he served his sentence and then awaited extradition, they still took 6-7 years (our article says 6 but it seems more likely it was 7 or very close to it) to put him on trial in the US. Then the trial took ~4 months to reach a verdict. Actually, about 2 years after he was convicted, which was about 9.5 years after his extradition judgement, the United States v Burns decision was delivered which effectively means that it's unlikely Charles Ng would have been extradited from that point forward if the prosecutors didn't give assurances not to seek the death penalty.

Most Evil?

Hey, just watched the "Most Evil" with Ng and it prompted to me to run a search. They did not name Ng and Lake the most evil of all time - they simply ranked them as a 22 on the scale of evilness, which is the highest score. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.163.144.197 (talk • contribs) 03:11, 11 August 2006‎
