Jamaica's Supreme Court will begin a hearing this week on whether a Jamaican national declared a 'drug kingpin' by the American president can be assured of a fair trial if he is extradited to the U.S.
The U.S wants Montego Bay businessmen Leebert Ramcharan and Donovan "Plucky" Williams, to answer drug trafficking charges. The two were ordered extradited more than a year ago by a Kingston magistrate, Martin Gayle. But they asked for a judicial review of the June 2004 extradition order.
It is expected, too, that the hearing will skirt - if not fully delve into how constitutional is Jamaica's extradition law itself.
