Three for Dodds

Date:

Share post:

THE LONGEST RUNNING extradition hearing came to a dramatic, unexpected end in the District “A” Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
 Chief Magistrate Clyde Nicholls ordered that wanted men Frederick Christopher Hawkesworth, John Wayne Scantlebury and Sean Gaskin be incarcerated at HMP Dodds pending extradition proceedings to the United States to face drug trafficking charges.
However, lawyers for the men are hinting that the fight to keep them out of the United States is far from over.
It was in late May, early June, 2004, that the three were brought to court after the United States’ Government issued provisional arrest warrants for them. (HLE)
