- JamaicaObserver.com: "FUGITIVE Christopher 'Dudus' Coke yesterday failed in his Supreme Court bid to get hounding security forces off his back. The court threw out Coke's application for a Judicial Review of the decision to begin extradition proceedings against him, ending speculation over the potential turmoil had he won.
Had leave been granted, there would have been a stay of the warrant issued for Coke's arrest on May 18, after Justice Minister Dorothy Lightbourne gave the authority to start extradition proceedings against the former Tivoli Gardens strongman, who is wanted in the United States on drugs and gun-trafficking charges."
