Guyanese businessman Peter Morgan who is facing sentencing on a drug trafficking charge in the United States of America will have to wait a while longer to know his fate.
Morgan was scheduled to be sentenced yesterday by Senior Judge Edward Korman, in the US District Court, Brooklyn.
He had entered a guilty plea to three counts ranging from conspiracy to import/export, distribute a controlled substance (cocaine).
Court clerk, Paula Marie, told reporters that a new date for the sentencing will be announced soon.
She informed that Judge Korman was out of the circuit and will return some time next week. She suggested that a new sentencing date will have to be fixed for some time near the end of the month. She herself would be out of the court next week, she said.
Morgan had entered a plea bargain a few months ago and is awaiting sentencing.
A group of Guyanese journalists who had traveled to the United States had assembled in the courtroom in anticipation of the sentencing.
However, they were disappointed when the clerk informed that it was put off.
They used the time though to cover the matter involving the Guyanese and Trinidadian who are charged with plotting to blow up the pipelines of JFK International Airport. (Dale Andrews in New York)
