Justice Jo-Ann Barlow on Thursday granted the state 14 days to submit arguments in the matter of Troy Anthony Thomas, who is facing extradition back to the United States of America where he is wanted for murder.
Solicitor General, Kim Kyte from the Attorney General Chambers during her appearance before the judge, requested time to prepare and file legal documents in response to a fixed date application filed by Thomas’s lawyers to have the Magistrates’ Court barred from hearing the extradition proceedings.
Thomas is being represented by Attorneys Nigel Hughes, Bernard DaSilva and Darren Wade.
On Wednesday last when the matter was called before Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs- Marcus at the Providence Magistrates’ Courts, the lawyer told the Magistrate about the application they filed on the behalf of their client in the High Court.
The Magistrate after listening to the lawyers told the court that she will put the matter on hold while she awaits the High Court ruling before continuing the matter.
Justice Jo-Ann Barlow is said to rule on the matter on May 25.
Attorney-at-law Stacy Goodings, who is representing the Government of United States, had stated that she is of the opinion that the Magistrates’ Courts has the jurisdiction to continue the extradition proceeding, and that the State is ready to proceed with the matter.
