Smart move IMO
How so?
Unfamiliar with US law so unsure if this is about who has first claim on the suspect or about political gamesmanship in an election year.

It's complicated. While there might be an underlying political agenda, I don't think it's the sole (or even primary) reason Arizona is refusing to extradite this suspect to New York. It basically boils down to each state's bail policies.How so?

Everything @cujenn81 posted plus he was already out on bail for an offense in FL when he allegedly committed all of the crimes in this thread.How so?

In the state of New York, all charges are bailable by law. If the suspect were extradited to NYC, he would be officially charged and a judge would be required to set bail conditions. The suspect may or may not be able to produce the money to bail himself out of jail. But if he were to make bail, he would likely be released under certain restrictive conditions (such as ankle monitoring). But criminals remove such devices to evade authorities all the time.
On the other hand...
In the state of Arizona, bail can be denied for anyone charged with a felony offense and who poses a substantial danger to any other person or the community. As the suspect is currently facing multiple felony charges for stabbing two separate women, his bail will almost certainly be denied.
TL; DR
Essentially, the prosecutor in Arizona is refusing to extradite the suspect to New York because there's a possibility he could be released on bail. She wants to keep him detained in Arizona on the two assault (possibly attempted murder?) charges until he goes to trial and/or pleads guilty to the crimes.
What about the women in Arizona who were stabbed? Do they not deserve justice?So, *law* in NY might lead to him being out on bail. Yet, Rachel Mitchell of AZ said they would not extradite the suspect: "In most homicide cases across the country, it would be a routine extradition. But on Wednesday, an Arizona prosecutor refused, saying she did not believe Alvin L. Bragg, Manhattan’s district attorney, could be trusted to keep him behind bars."
So while the NY state law might be part of the issue, AZ *is* making it political by acting like it's Bragg's fault that NY has those laws. Uh, the Manhattan DA doesn't make NY laws. In this case, it is blatently political gamsmanship and is denying the Oleas-Arancibia family from seeking justice. Imo.
