Deber del Gobernador sobre Fugitivos de la Justicia

Explicación Simple

Si alguien comete un delito en otro estado y se escapa a Pensilvania, el gobernador debe ayudar a atraparlo. Esto es para que la justicia se aplique donde sea que haya ocurrido el crimen.

Es como si un niño rompiera una ventana en la casa de su vecino y luego se escondiera en su propia casa. El padre del vecino tiene el derecho de pedir ayuda para encontrar al niño y hacer que enfrente las consecuencias.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan robó una tienda en Nueva Jersey y luego se mudó a Pensilvania. Las autoridades de Nueva Jersey pueden pedirle al Gobernador de Pensilvania que ayude a arrestar a Juan para que enfrente el juicio por el robo.
