Dwayne 'Dog' and Beth Chapman Discuss Case on Larry King Live
Show Airs 4 p.m. Hawaii Time
By Mona K. Wood, 11/28/2006 4:12:33 PM

Honolulu, HI - Duane “Dog” Chapman, Beth Chapman, and their attorney, William Bollard, will be on the Larry King Live show tomorrow (Wednesday), Nov. 29, 2006, at 9 p.m. (ET) or 4 p.m. (HT). They are expected to speak about the Andrew Luster case and capture and how it has affected their lives, the success of their top-rated A&E reality show, the legal hurdles they have faced in the current Mexico extradition case, and the upcoming December 4th hearing in Mexico.  

Bollard will be representing the Chapmans at that hearing.  The Mexican federal courts will hear all of the evidence gathered by Bollard’s team at the Constitutional Hearing beginning on Monday, December 4, 2006 in Guadalajara.  The district court will have to decide whether the charges against Duane, Leland and Tim Chapman should be dismissed or whether the extradition case should proceed further.

The show repeats twice at 12 a.m. (11/30) ET/7 p.m. (11/29) HT and 3 a.m. (11/30) ET/10 p.m.  (11/29) HT.

Duane “Dog” Chapman, star of the top-rated A&E television show DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER, was arrested on September 14, 2006, by U.S. marshals in Hawaii on charges of illegal detention and conspiracy in his June 18, 2003, capture in Mexico of cosmetics heir Andrew Luster.  Also arrested were Leland Chapman, Duane’s son, and Timothy Chapman, their associate.  The three spent one night in the Federal Detention Center in Honolulu, and were released after posting bail.  The three have been ordered to appear at an extradition hearing, which has not yet been scheduled.  

Since the arrest, hundreds of thousands of fans from across the country and around the world – including 29 members of Congress – have been pleading with the U.S. and Mexican authorities for their freedom, holding them up as heroes for bringing serial rapist Luster to justice.  Luster is serving a 124-year prison sentence for his heinous crimes against the women he drugged, raped, and videotaped.
