   ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A woman accused of killing her twin sister by driving their SUV off a cliff in Hawaii is fighting her extradition from New York to face a murder charge. 
   
   A lawyer for 38-year-old Alexandria Duval said Friday at her court appearance that it's "highly likely" his client's case is headed to an extradition hearing. She was tracked down in Albany and arrested a week ago. 
   
   A grand jury in Hawaii indicted her on a second-degree murder charge last month. 
   
   Authorities say Alexandria was driving an SUV in May with her sister, Anastasia Duval, in the passenger seat when the vehicle crashed into a rock wall and plunged about 200 feet. 
   
   Authorities say the sisters were fighting over the steering wheel. Alexandria Duval's attorney says the crash was a "heart-shattering" tragedy. |||||

   ALBANY — An extradition hearing for a woman accused of killing her twin sister when their SUV plunged off a cliff in Hawaii is scheduled for Dec. 16. 
   
   Alexandria Duval, 37, appeared Friday in Albany County Court for a hearing before acting County Court Judge William Carter. She was arrested Nov. 11 in Albany by city and State Police. 
   
   She was wanted for murder in the death of her identical twin sister, Anastasia. 
   
   "She is profoundly distraught," her attorney Terry Kindlon said, calling the sisters "soul mates."

   Duval's case, and the crash that killed her twin sister, made national headlines. Duval was injured in the crash. 
   
   Kindlon, from the Public Defender's Office, said she will not waive her right to an extradition hearing. The paperwork prosecutors in New York and Hawaii have amassed "is not sufficient to force extradition so far," he said. 
   
   An extradition hearing determines if a defendant is the person wanted by law enforcement and if a defendant was at the crime scene, Kindlon said. 
   
   On May 29, the women's SUV plunged off a 200-foot cliff on Maui's rocky shore during what was described as a hair-pulling fight over the steering wheel, the Associated Press reports. 
   
   Alexandria, the driver, was arrested and jailed on a second-degree murder charge, accused of deliberately causing her sister's death, the AP reports. The twins were previously known as Alison and Ann Dadow. 
   
   Kindlon described the crash as an accident. Duval "left Hawaii to come back to grieve, not to escape from justice," he said. The sisters were originally from the Utica area, according to the Star Advertiser of Honolulu. 
   
   Duval was taken into custody by Maui police after being discharged from the hospital days after the accident. A judge later ordered her release after determining there was no probable cause for a murder charge, the AP reported. Duval was eager to return to upstate New York after the crash to attend her sister's funeral, the AP reported. 
   
   In late October, a grand jury indicted Duval on a second-degree murder charge and the Maui Police Department issued a warrant for her arrest, CBS News reports 
   
   A State Police investigator from the New York State Intelligence Center located a possible address for Duval in Albany and Troop G members were notified. On Nov. 11, Duval was seen standing outside the home and tried to flee, but was taken into custody and brought to the Latham barracks, troopers said. 
   
   Duval was returned to the Albany County Jail.

Authorities say Alexandria was driving an SUV in May with her sister, Anastasia Duval, in the passenger seat when the vehicle crashed into a rock wall and plunged about 200 feet. Authorities say the sisters were fighting over the steering wheel, reports AP. A previous murder case against Duval was dismissed because of a lack of evidence. The extradition hearing is scheduled for Dec. 16.
