HRS §832-26

State does not give up rights by extradition actions

This section says that when the State of Hawaii handles an extradition case, it does not give up its right to try the person for crimes committed in Hawaii or to get the person back later for trial or punishment. Even if extradition happens or does not happen, the State keeps all its legal powers.
