Editorial: Are we missing something?

Are we missing something?

Are we missing something that would help laymen understand the requirement of a bond of less than $30,000 in the case of the man from Serbia found by Naples police to be wanted on a murder charge in his homeland?

He was arrested at a condominium following a fight with police who were called there on a noise complaint. The warrant turned up in an international records search.

As best we can determine, local authorities have jurisdiction over only the local charges, which include resisting arrest, battery on a police officer and disorderly conduct.

Question: Our community can do nothing further for safety and justice when dealing with a suspect who reportedly fatally shot a patron at a pub in 2007?

Withholding his passport is supposed to keep him further flight?

There are no attorneys or international law experts among our editorial board. Still, we wonder whether this scenario represents the fullest and best administration of the law. Are we missing something?
