Headline giving us all an example of why punctuation is important.
Can someone smarter than me on legal stuff explain why he chose to waive the extradition hearing? >

Waiving the extradition hearing means that he will be brought back to Idaho. A hearing would give them a chance to argue why he shouldn’t be brought back to the state the crime was committed in >

Exactly! I think that’s the reason he’s not contesting. There is no reason for him to contest the extradition. >

It would have been smarter to go to Brazil, at least when I was in middle school they didn’t extradite. >

My reaction to the headline was “why did Idaho murder him without a trial?” Had to read it twice. >

Same.
"Idaho Murders" Suspect or Idaho Murders- Suspect
Either would be way better
E-
Even 
Idaho Murders suspect would read way differently
