Arizona Refusing To Extradite Murder Suspect To NYC, Distrusts Prosecutor Alvin Bragg

In all my years I do not remember ever seeing something like this

Arizona prosecutors won’t extradite SoHo hotel murder suspect to N.Y.

Prosecutors in Arizona say they won’t agree right now to extradite the man accused of murdering a woman in SoHo because they don’t trust Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Raad Almansoori is locked up in Arizona, where police say he stabbed two women. The Manhattan DA wants to bring him to New York to face charges for that SoHo murder, but Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell wants him to stay in Arizona, for now.

“I just want to say that I know there’s been discussion about New York wanting to extradite this individual. And I’m sure that this is not aimed at the New York Police Department at all, I know they did a hard job, and they did a good job. But we will not be agreeing to extradition. I’ve instructed my extradition attorneys not to agree to that. We’re going to keep him here. These are mandatory prison sentences. And having observed the treatment of violent criminals in the New York area by the Manhattan DA there, Alvin Bragg, I think it’s safer to keep him here and keep him in custody so that he can not be out doing this to individuals either in our state, county or anywhere in the United States,” Mitchell said.

Have you ever seen this happen here in the U.S. where one state won’t extradite a murderer (or any other criminal) to another state because of the possibility that they will be released back to the streets and treated lightly? Almansoori is also wanted for a wide variety for felonies in Arizona and other states

A spokesperson from the Manhattan District Attorney, Emily Tuttle, called Mitchell’s comments “deeply disturbing” and accused her of “playing political games in a murder investigation.”

“In Manhattan, we are serious about New Yorkers’ safety, which is why murders are down 24% and shootings are down 38% since D.A. Bragg took office. New York’s murder rate is less than half that of Phoenix, Arizona, because of the hard work of the NYPD and all of our law enforcement partners,” Tuttle said. “It is a slap in the face to them and to the victim in our case to refuse to allow us to seek justice and full accountability for a New Yorker’s death.”

Yeah yeah yeah. Those rates have nothing to do with Bragg. Meanwhile, theft, burglary, and robbery are way up. Smash and grabs are common. Convictions are down, and charges are being downgraded

Since taking office on Jan. 1, Bragg has downgraded 52% of felony cases to misdemeanors — compared to 39% in all of 2019. Between 2013 and 2020, under District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., the percentage of cases the office downgraded had never exceeded 40%, according to data made public by the DA’s office.

When serious felony charges are brought, Bragg’s office wins a conviction just 51% of the time — down from 68% in 2019, the last year before the pandemic disrupted the court system.

That’s not good. It’s no wonder Arizona is refusing to ship Raad back to NYC

    If Arizona can convict him first, and sentence him to a long time in prison, then he can be extradited to New York, and the libs there can’t turn him loose. Jail him for decades, and when his sentence is up, deport him.

    Almansoori was born in Arizona and is accused of murdering a prostitute in NYC, attacking and sexually assaulting a prostitute in Florida and two stabbings in Arizona. He also confessed to assaulting another three women and has been previously arrested in Texas.

    Sounds like a deranged sociopath. His half sister said, “‘For a long time, he would be out in the backyard speaking to God.’

    Of course, it’s a political stunt. On the other hand, “possession is 9/10s of the law”, so if AZ can and will make a case, have at the sociopathic son of a bitch. Just make certain he never takes a breath as a free sociopath.

    Can a natural born America citizen be deported for being convicted of murder?
