5:38 pm
exlifornia have been submitted to mexico for extradition but the attorney general could ultimately decide to try him in another city with a similar case. there's a lot of factors to consider, including how old some of the cases are, which districts have witnesses who could testify, and also which office has the resources to take on this kind of defendant. >> quijano: and, paula, could he face the death penalty if convicted? >> reporter: no. he faces death penalty-eligible charges here in the u.s. but under the terms of our agreement with mexico, there would have to be assurances capital punishment would not be pursued in order to get him here. >> quijano: all right, paula reid in washington for us. paula, thank you. several tornadoes touched down in colorado this weekend, including four in yuma county. in ray, colorado, at least five people were injured. power lines were knocked down, and several homes were damaged. se national weather service says the bad weather could continue through sunday. this past week, parts of oklahoma were rattled by more earthquakes. last year, the state averaged more than two earthquakes a day
