8 The court observed:

Some fifteen years then elapsed, during which time Plaster was released from Wisconsin prison and began a productive new life on the well-founded belief that he had put these events behind him. Under these circumstances, we think that fundamental fairness could well require habeas corpus relief and enforcement of the government’s promise not to extradite Plaster to Germany for the 1965 murder.
