The Sewell brothers were back in court again today. Former local kingpins Gary and Mark Sewell are wanted by the U.S. Government for importing cocaine into the US through Mexico and sold marijuana in Texas from 1994 to 1997.
They are allegedly also responsible for 1 million dollars in drug proceeds sent to Houston, Texas; Lakeland, Florida, and Belize.
In furtherance of their extradition, they've had numerous Magistrate's court appearances and adjournments and today was one more.
Their attorney, Dr. Elson Kaseke told the media that the proceedings will continue on Tuesday - since they still have to go through an entire process.

"You had put in some kind of application to the court. What was that application was about?"
Elston Kaseke, Attorney for Sewell Brothers
"What we inform the court that there were 3 witnesses who were in Belize who were saying that they never made any affidavits and we said, look, in order for you to be fair we told the court that it must call those witnesses. They are waiting to come to court and hear what they have to say. But the court says that it does not need to call those witness."
While Gary and Mark Sewell are being held pending extradition, their brother Dwayne is serving a 17 year sentence after he was convicted in Columbus, Ohio.
