New York doctor indicted by a grand jury in Louisiana

Full faith and credit has nothing to do with this. The extradition clause is not self executing and is enforced through the States adoption of the uniform act, which LA has not. There is no chance that the NY governor is going to permit the the arrest or extension of this doctor because of the shield law. So LA will have to petition the NY Courts for extradition over the governors objection, which the NY Courts will decline to do. Interstate extradition does not apply here since the doc did commit a crime in LA and then flee.

and protected via new york state law from prosecution by another state state for practicing telemedicine and prescribing abortion drugs to woman living in backward states.

a worthwhile endeavor.

shes already run a foul regarding Texas law. Louisiana makes it a two fer.

which is entirely irrelevant since NY will not be attempting to extradite anyone from LA. It is LA that will be extraditing from NY, which is singed on and all LA need do is follow the procedures. Great that you have a magic crystal ball that tells you what NY courts will do… especially after the federal courts shoot down NY’s shield law which will come up against the full faith and credit clause (a warrant signed by a judge is a Judicial act). Once the shield law is disposed of, NY is stuck with the fact that it is an extradition state.

AR15s in New Jersey it is then.

Nope.

AR15s can be prescribed by doctors, who knew?

Pregnancy requires labs. Not just “looking.”

That she is actually pregnant.

Each post more stupid than the last

We’ll know the outcame in a few months. But until then, I think Dr criminal gets hauled off to LA to stand trial. The NY sheild law gets tossed out because this is an interstate commerce issue. And fee fees about this law being bad won’t save Dr criminal from her fate.

and comparing an rifle to an abortion drug is pure genius.

hey maybe giving trump some comp as a stable genius.

Allan

nope. Louisiana drops the case.

Per google AI:

“In rare cases, if someone committed an overt act within the state while not physically present (like a cybercrime), courts may consider them a fugitive even if they were never physically present, but this is highly contested and depends on the specific circumstances”.

Have there been any cases like that under federal extradition laws? Maybe this will be a ground breaking case, if Louisiana cares to take it that far.

Strange enough, New York is not a member of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact that facilitates telemedicine.

Sounds like the good doctor has done more than “prescribe an abortion”, that could be illegal.

From Google…

Telemedicine Support:

The compact supports the growth of telemedicine by facilitating interstate practice for physicians.

The practice of medicine occurs where the patient is located at the time of the physician-patient encounter.
