On Friday, a decision made by an appeals court that originally ruled the case should be dismissed was reversed, according to USA Today, which cited Brazilian newspaper O Globo. “I’m disappointed that they’re trying to take another shot at it,” Lochte’s lawyer Jeff Ostrow told USA Today. The reason, according to CNBC, is that Lochte would need to be extradited to Brazil, which would require U.S. co-operation. Under agreed-upon terms with Brazil, extradition only applies in the case of more serious offences, such as murder or rape. Ostrow told USA Today on Friday he believes that bit of information will allow him to stay the case.
