Don Foote, one of the attorneys who represented Christopher 'Dudus' Coke in the attempt to prevent the execution of a warrant issued for Coke's arrest, says he, along with other attorneys, will attempt to speak with Coke today.
Speaking to THE STAR last night, Foote said he was not aware of Coke's alleged intention to hand over himself to the United States Embassy and said neither was he aware that Coke had planned to turn himself in to anyone.
a judicial review
The attorney said he had been in dialogue with the police since Coke's arrest and said, "The team [legal team] will try to meet with Coke tomorrow [today]".
Foote represented Coke in a judicial review which was being handled by the Supreme Court. Coke's lawyers were attempting to challenge the validity of the decision by the Justice Minister to give the go-ahead to proceed with the extradition matters.
Reverend Al Miller, in whose possession Coke was held yesterday, said he and Coke were on their way to the US Embassy, where the alleged drug lord would hand himself over to US authorities.
