§ 2963.03.
No demand for the extradition of a person charged with crime in another state shall
be recognized by the governor unless the demand is in writing alleging, except in
cases arising under section 2963.06 of the Revised Code , that the accused was present in the demanding state at the time of the commission
of the alleged crime, and that thereafter he fled from the state, and unless the demand
is accompanied by: (A) A copy of an indictment found or by information supported by affidavit in the state
having jurisdiction of the crime, or by a copy of an affidavit made before a magistrate
there, together with a copy of any warrant which was issued thereupon; (B) A copy of a judgment of conviction or of a sentence imposed in execution thereof,
together with a statement by the executive authority of the demanding state that the
person claimed has escaped from confinement or has broken the terms of his bail, probation,
or parole. The indictment, information, or affidavit made before the magistrate must substantially
charge the person demanded with having committed a crime under the law of that state. The copy of indictment, information, affidavit, judgment of conviction, or sentence
must be authenticated by the executive authority making the demand.
