been a white house petition that s now gotten 200,000 signatures to extradite him. does it look david, like the united states will extradite him to stand trial in zimbabwe? reporter: well look never say never, poppy, but in this case experts say it s probably unlikely that the u.s. will hand over dr. palmer to zimbabwe for a couple reasons. one is the nature of this alleged offense. it is of course serious, the fact that it is a poaching offense, could get ten years in zimbabwe but, you know, it s not really in the realm of the kind of issues that would get someone sent out of their home country to a foreign country to face trial. there s also the issue of zimbabwe proper. the justice system there has been accused of rights abuses in the prisons. there are more than 80 people and institutions under sanctions list in zimbabwe. so there is a bit of politics here i think in terms of accusing this second american.
