Proceso de extradición en el estado de Washington

Explicación Simple

Si alguien en otro estado quiere que lo traigan a Washington por un crimen, el gobernador puede investigar la situación. Luego, decide si esa persona debe ser entregada o no.

Es como cuando un amigo te pide que le devuelvas un libro que prestaste, pero primero te aseguras de que realmente lo necesita y que no hay problemas con eso.
