Guyana magistrate disregards police statement in Mohamed extradition case

Chief Magistrate Judy Latchman proceeded with the extradition hearing of businessmen Azruddin and Nazar Mohamed despite defense claims that a police press statement prejudiced the proceedings. The magistrate's decision to ignore the statement suggests the hearing continues on schedule, though the defense's perversion-of-justice argument remains unresolved. This matters as it affects the legal process for a high-profile extradition to the US.
