A COURT of Appeal case was delayed to November 20 because of outstanding transcripts yesterday.
Dion Minnis, David Colebrooke and Dwayne Henderson were convicted in Magistrate’s Court in June 2013 for their involvement in an $850,000 drug-smuggling plot.
Their trial commenced in June 2011 and concluded with the magistrate finding Minnis, Colebrooke and Henderson guilty of possession of dangerous drugs with intent to supply, importation of dangerous drugs, conspiracy to import dangerous drugs and conspiracy to possess dangerous drugs with intent to supply.
Defence Force officers, on March 2, 2011, found packages of marijuana dumped in Bahamian waters and the defendants on a boat in the Ragged Island chain.
Colebrooke, who was on the run up to three months before conviction, was sentenced to four years in prison. Henderson received three years while Minnis got three years and six months for his part in the plot.
Minnis is represented by Mr Ducille while Mr Cargill represents Henderson and Colebrooke.
