No decision yet on Nembhard extradition
published: Wednesday | March 28, 2007

The Full court has reserved its decision in the motion brought by 53-year-old St. Ann businessman Norris 'Deedo' Nembhard and five other men who are seeking to have their extradition orders set aside.

Police Corporal Herbert Henry is one of the men who has been fighting his extradition order.

The other men are Colombian barber Luis Miguel Arias and Jamaicans Robroy Williams, also called 'Spy', Glenford Williams and Vivian Dalley.

The men have been in custody since April 2004 and were ordered extradited in 2005.

They are wanted in the United States to face charges for conspiracy to export cocaine to that country between 1998 and 2004.

They were arrested as part of a major international crackdown by the Jamaican, United States, British and Colombian governments on drug trafficking.

Documents not authentic

The men are challenging the documents on which they were ordered extradited on the basis that they are not authentic.

Nembhard is one of two Jamaicans designated by U.S. President George W. Bush as drug kingpins. Nembhard was contending that the designation would prevent him from getting a fair trial in the U.S.A.

Nembhard's lawyers did not pursue the issue following a ruling this month by the Court of Appeal in the case of Montego Bay businessman Leebert Ramcharan.

Ramcharan has also been designated a drug kingpin and the Court of Appeal has ruled that the designation will not prevent him from getting a fair trial. Ramcharanand Montego Bay businessman Donovan 'Plucky' Williams were extradited this month to the U.S.A. to face charges of conspiracy to import cocaine there.

Chief Justice Lensley Wolfe, Senior Puisne Judge Marva McIntosh and Mr. Justice Lloyd Hibbert heard the motion.

The Chief Justice told the lawyers that the decision would be handed down soon.
