The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. “"It has been held that once a fugitive is within the custody of the charging state, the legality of the extradition is no longer subject to legal attack. Siegel v. Edwards, 566 F.2d 958 (5th Cir.1978). In 35 C.J.S. Extradition, § 22 (1960), it is stated: "`It is not, according to the generally accepted view ... a cause for exemption from prosecution for a crime that accused was illegally arrested in another state and unlawfully brought within the jurisdiction of the state against which he offended, although the contrary has been held; nor is he protected from prosecution even if he was kidnapped in the other state and brought into the state without a semblance of right. It follows, therefore, that he is within the jurisdiction of the court even though he was illegally arrested or surrendered on invalid extradition proceedings, as where the requisite proceedings were not strictly legal.' "Early Alabama authority has followed this `generally accepted view.' See Ex parte Barker, 87 Ala. 4 , 6 So. 7 (1889). We are in agreement with the above cited authorities and hold that appellant may not now claim that the State failed to follow the extradition statutes in an attempt to defeat jurisdiction in the Alabama courts."”
