Palmer would say Aliens did it if he thought it would get him off , the pleading ignorance excuse seems suspect to me given as he is an experienced hunter well known in the hunting community.
Let us not forget he has a previous conviction for shooting where he shouldn't , that in itself isn't proof of anything but it may be an indication of his attitude toward the rules of the game.
As time goes on more will become known but for now the witch hunt needs to stop and extradition proceeding need to start.

Why would he be ashamed?
You know that without the money these hunting expeditions bring in, there likely wouldn't even be any lions left.
He killed a protected lion! Huge difference!

Think logically about it. You wouldn't pay 50k to a licensed big game hunt club to then illegally hunt an animal. He went over to another country, paid and exorbitant amount of money and trusted the company he paid. Anyone would have to put faith in the company they used. That's their business. It seems the hunt club felt pressured to deliver after taking 50k. They are at fault, not Palmer.

That the company he paid 50k to said he could. How would he know, he's the client. The licensed/regulated company he employed is at fault.

Seems your hero already has a felony for poaching.
Looks like there is reason to think he knew exactly what he was doing......

Lets the courts decide that.
If he is innocent then he has nothing to fear and he can come back home.
Extradite him.
The USA makes the rest of the world extradite to them on sometimes silly reason. Well whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

Palmer said he was told by his guide it was all legal. If so, Palmer should be left alone.
If course he is going to say that. He not going to admit he may have committed a crime.
Extradite him and let him stand trial and let the lawyers work out if he was innocent or not.

You want an American to be tried in Africa, because of a lion?
Are you out of your mind?
The entire legal system of Africa except a couple of places is banana republic justice, they just do whatever they want most of the time.

I hope all you people bitching about hunting are vegetarians because if you go home and eat a steak you are a Hypocrite.
Dont tell me how hunting for sport is any different then other people slaughtering other animals to feed you .
If you were being hunted by 2 guys and one wanted to eat you the other just wanted to kill you which one are you more scared of?
Or would you just not want to die?
The idea of hunting something, and not using the kill for anything other than a target is a damn shame, a waste, and an atrocity!
The Native Americans used ALL of the animal.
It's a waste to just pull a trigger / let loose an arrow.. take a few photos with the deceased creature, and walk away..

So?
You dont get extradited for just war crimes.
If Palmer is innocent then he has nothing to fear does he?
Send him to Zimbabwe and let the courts sort it out, even if innocent he is a vital witness to the crime and integral to the trial of the other mem, if he so law abiding he should want to help.

Why should a American get special treatment? Do you think a US passport exempts you from law abroad? That your special little red white and blue snow flakes?
USA has extradited to them ALL the time to face US "justice". We all know the US "justice" system is a joke with money deciding ones face, plea bargains not to mentions some times YEARS waiting for a trial on remand in jail.

It is obvious justice is not what you want, you want vengeance.
That is a sign of psychosis BTW.
Especially since you never even once thought about this lion before its death hit the news.
So your level of outrage alone is unfounded, that is we don't include most of the things you wrote, in the post I quoted above.
