Deon Bruce Back At Court, Now With New Attorney
posted (March 19, 2014)

Today, was supposed to be Deon Bruce’s Habeas Corpus Hearing before Justice Courtney Abel. As we’ve told you, he is fighting his extradition to the US, where he is wanted for charges of murder and attempted murder.

Chief Magistrate Smith has ruled that he should be extradited, but his attorney at that time was Godfrey Smith. He had 15 days to file the Habeas Corpus documents, which was done, but he has had a change of attorney since then.

He is now being represented by Audrey Matura-Shepherd, and that court has given an adjournment so that Bruce’s new attorney can get up to speed with the case. Bruce goes back to court on June 5, where it is expected that he will get a full hearing.

As we have told you, he is wanted in the US for allegedly shooting at Aaron Carter and Bryan Rodgers in Chicago on July 28, 2010.
