KRS 440.180: Conditions of demand for extradition.

No demand for the extradition of a person charged with crime in another state shall be

recognized by the Governor unless in writing alleging, except in cases arising under KRS

440.210, that the accused was present in the demanding state at the time of the

commission of the alleged crime, and that thereafter he fled from the state, and

accompanied by a copy of an indictment found or by information supported by affidavit

in the state having jurisdiction of the crime, or by a copy of an affidavit made before a

magistrate there, together with a copy of any warrant which was issued thereupon; or by a

copy of a judgment of conviction or of a sentence imposed in execution thereof, together

with a statement by the executive authority of the demanding state that the person claimed

has escaped from confinement or has broken the terms of his bail, probation or parole.

The indictment, information, or affidavit made before the magistrate must substantially

charge the person demanded with having committed a crime under the law of that state;

and the copy of indictment, information, affidavit, judgment of conviction, or sentence

must be authenticated by the executive authority making the demand.
