July 2014 to July 2015

So the paperwork says he committed the offence in Wisconsin and elsewhere sometime between July 2015 and July 2015 but the paperwork to detain him was only filed on the 12th of July this year? Not only is that remarkably vague but smacks of the US authorities knowing they had insufficient evidence to go for extradition, even with our (UK) lapdog approach to relations with the US, so they held off until he was in the country before filing papers. As in waited until he had little or no hope of avoiding arrest before accusing him of a crime.

Nice.
