U.S. Fugitive George Wright Safe From Extradition - The Portuguese lawyer of U.S. fugitive George Wright said on Dec. 22 that the country’s Supreme Court blocked the most recent appeal by the U.S. to extradite the convicted killer, based on an earlier appeal that Wright had obtained citizenship in the country. Wright was nabbed by U.S. agents in September after being on the run for 41 years; he faces the remainder of a 15 to 30-year prison sentence stemming from a 1962 murder of a New Jersey man.(Photo: AP Photo/Armando Franca, file)
