Update: The Jamaican Government has still not decided whether to honor a request by the United States for the extradition in the highly publicized case of Mr. Christopher Dudus, who has been charged in the US for conspiracy to traffic in cocaine and marijuana.
Jamaica Observer.
The press reports that his attorney is confident that the Attorney General will make the right decision, and predicts that she will ultimately reject the request.
"Based on the allegations that I have seen, there is nothing there to provide a burden of evidence that the warrant for his extradition should be signed," said Tavares-Finson. "In fact, based on the allegations, I am of the view that the US authorities are not really interested in my client. But if anybody knows our attorney general, Dorothy Lightbourne, those persons who went to law school with her will tell you that she is a meticulous person and will examine the evidence based on merit. If it is to be signed, it will be signed. If it is to be denied, it will be denied."
