what punishment fits the crime after a horrible murder takes place the answer may depend on the country that's trying
00:00:11
it Karl Harig was shot to death in 2007 his wife Claudia Herrick was charged with his murder in the United States but
00:00:22
fled to Brazil where she was born citizens there can't be extradited my name is Bernardo Matarazzo an intern at
00:00:32
48 hours also from Brazil I went to Brasilia with correspondent Erin Moriarty and with Carl's brother Paul
00:00:40
Herrick to track Claudia down in the process I learned how her fate could change depending on the country if she
00:00:50
were tried and convicted in Brazil the maximum sentence she could get is 30 years in prison oh my gosh even if if
00:00:59
she were convicted of something like murder and she goes to prison over a period of time she would be allowed out
00:01:05
during the day to work yes a dimension is less on Brazilian she could even be led out after serving
00:01:14
just a third of that time by contrast if she were tried and convicted in Ohio where the murder took place she could
00:01:24
spend the rest of her life in prison on justice and I want it for my parents
