Gregory Chandler--Hearsay In Extradition Hearings

In United States v. Kin-Hong, 110 F. 3d 103 (1st Cir. 1997) the Court reversed an order preventing extradition.  The Court opined that the Federal Rules of Evidence are not applicable in extradition proceedings.  The Court, therefore, took the position that hearsay statements accusing the petitioner of bribery were admissible. 

The thought to remember is that the Federal Rules of Evidence do not apply to all federal court proceedings.
