I have noted previously here the case of Reverend George Exoo, whose extradition was sought from the U.S.A. to Ireland for alleged assistance in a suicide.
It's now being reported that Exoo's extradition has been refused:
RTE: Extradition of Exoo halted in US
The Times West Virginian: Ex-Beckley minister free
Irish Times: Minister in suicide case calls for change in Irish law
The judgment was issued by the U.S. District Court, Southern District Court of West Virginia. The judge was Magistrate Judge R. Clarke VanDervort.
The court website is at http://www.wvsd.uscourts.gov/
Update May 2008:
The Exoo case Opinion is available here.
