Who may request that a person be returned to the state where they committed a crime?

Technically, this request is made by the governor of the state where the crime occurred. The request is usually a formality that does not personally involve the governor. The law enforcement agency or prosecutor's office having jurisdiction over the crime decides if they want to go to the expense necessary to bring the accused party back to be tried for the crime. This process is called extradition. In order for the officers of State A to go to State B to retrieve an accused person, the governor of State A must ask the governor of State B to allow State A's officers to enter State B and take the accused into custody. If the governor of State B refuses this permission (this rarely happens), State A's officers have to wait for him to change his mind or for their suspect to leave State B.

Can marriage with the second wife perform by a judge be considered polygamy?
If the person was still married to the first wife when the second marriage was performed then this is a crime (not a crime committed by the Judge unless the judge KNEW the person was already married - but a crime committed by the person who is still married). The second marriage is not legal (no matter who performed it) and the person who was still married has committed the crime of polygamy.
