Question

extradite Picked up by the Colorado police for burglary, he's being extradited to Mississippi to face trial for murder. ˈɛkstrəˌdaɪt

Accepted Answer

To deliver an accused criminal from one place to another where the trial will be held. Extradition from one state to another is generally a straightforward process. But extradition may become more complicated when two countries are involved, even though most countries have signed treaties stating that they will send criminals to the country where they are wanted. Many countries often won't send their own citizens to another country for trial; countries that don't permit the death penalty may not agree to send a suspect back to face such a penalty; and most countries won't extradite someone accused of political crimes. When extradition seems unlikely, a country may actually kidnap someone from another country, but this is illegal and rare.
