Shuchat Extradition Delayed Until Summer
Three weeks after an Israeli court approved a request by Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes to extradite a former Crown Heights resident to the United States in order to face bias charges in a 2008 attack, the Israeli supreme court has granted an appeal and will delay the extradition until July 2012, VIN News has learned.
Yitzchak Shuchat, now a resident of Tel Aviv, was scheduled to be extradited to the United States on December 16th, but his appeal to fight the extradition was granted by the Israeli supreme court. Shuchat, who had been in jail during the appeals process, is now under house arrest while the court considers the case further.
The bias charges were brought against Shuchat, a member of the Shmira crime patrol, following the April 2008 beating of a black man, Andrew Charles, as reported earlier on VIN News. Both Shuchat and Charles, the son of an NYPD officer, had stated publicly that the incident was not racially motivated.
“We believe this to be a small miracle,” Levi Freundlich, Vice President of the Jewish Leadership Council, told VIN News. “It is well known that the Israeli government typically shies away from getting involved and denying extradition but it is obvious that there are holes in this case that the court would like to look into before making a final decision.”
b h
this shuchat is a really good guy, he got involved with a bad group of people called shmira and they used to him to do their …. for them!
i hope he can apologize to shomrim. and be the good guy that he really is.
bottom line is he does not belong in a nyc jail but he needs to learn not be such a cool guy and keep to himself vd”l
i hope he learned his lesson
Court system
This is the justice system doing the usual…Dragging along…month after month.
I guess it’s like this by every court system…it sucks!!!
Poor andrew Charles
Andrew Charles looks like he sustained some pretty serious injuries.. NOT
CHLEAKS
“We believe this to be a small miracle,” Levi Freundlich, Vice President of the Jewish Leadership Council, told VIN News.
Again we see that these idiots have no idea what court is. Anybody involved or experienced with any type of court case, whether it be criminal, civil, Bankruptcy, appeal etc…etc… knows that delays are part of the hardships, annoyances and procedures of the court system. Guess what? July will come and the case will probably get pushed off further.
Example: The DA send expatiation request in 2009. The Israeli courts only dealt with it this year, three years later. An appeal can take just as long, if not longer.

#2 get lost. thank god i hope he wins the appeal
Court system
Get lost?
You don’t want to see justice? You don’t believe your “friend” is innocent? are you justifying a man or group which brought Crown Heights to brinks of another riot, endangering all of us?
According to Shuchat supporters it’s an open shut case, so bring the guy over for some justice. Surly he will be vindicated.
And besides, even if hes found guilty, whats the big deal to go to jail for 15 years. Those behind Shuchat had no problem sending Gadi Hershkop, Chaim Hershkop, Yehuda Hershkop, Nechemia Slatter, Benjamin Lifshitz and Schneur Pinson, (husbands, fathers, sons, volunteers, neighbors and friends) to prison.

so what gives now?
selfish
I agree with comment #6.
The people “concerned” for shuchat are not concerned for him because hes a Jew, they couldn’t care less about that. If that was the case, then where were they two years ago, by the shomrim six trial?
The only reason they are “concerned” about shuchat is because they have a personal roll in the shuchat charles issue. if shuchat comes here, much will be exposed, many will fall. they worry only for themselves.
No justice
Shuchat is innocent. The black guy threw himself at Shuchat’s fists. This is BS of the highest order. It stinks so bad I can smell it in Los Angeles.
Let the guy go. And let Rubashkin out too.
Justice!
Jewish dude
Why not let him stay in tel aviv pay restitution to Mr Andrew Charles and move on. This is the best out come for everybody.
Why run

If he’s not guilty why is he running. The truth will set him free. Even if it wasn’t racial, that’s still no excuse to mace and beat people up with out probably cause. That in itself is a Chilul Hashem.
I hope proper justice is served but I hope the courts are not trying to make another “jewish” example. just fair justice like any other assault. case. And with proper evidence, and he may be set free.
