Dr. Miller to be extradited to US
offender sentence, must return to court next week to see if extradition papers are ready.
But Magistrate Archibald Warner warned prosecutors the papers must be ready soon because extradition procedures must be complete within 60 days of an arrest.
"By November 29 Mr. Doherty,'' Mr. Warner told Crown counsel Patrick Doherty.
"It will have been almost six weeks since this gentleman was brought before these courts. That's ample time for him to know what's going to happen. That's all I have to say about that. Bail extended.'' Miller, a 34-year-old Jamaican, is wanted in Florida on charges he failed to complete his two years' community service sentence and six years probation for sexual battery to a minor. He pleaded no contest to the charges. Miller is reported to have gone to Jamaica after one month of service and the 15-year-old girl, who is now his wife, is believed to have followed him.
It is claimed he married the girl in Trinidad when she was 15, again in Scotland at age 16, and in August in Las Vegas at age 18.
Yesterday as Mr. Warner further released Miller on $10,000 bail with two like sureties, the couple embraced and loudly kissed in front of the gallery.
It is understood the girl's grandmother was in the courtroom yesterday for the hearing.
SOLDIER TOLD TO SERVE HIS TIME CTS Soldier told to serve his time A Bermuda Regiment soldier has been given until the end of the year to complete 11 days service or get a harsher sentence from a magistrate.
Andrew Joseph Kempe yesterday pleaded guilty to two charges of failing to fulfil his final military obligations of 12 days extra duties and failing to pay a $728 fine.
But Magistrate Archibald Warner dismissed the charge of failing to pay the fine as Kempe had already paid the fine -- albeit late -- and gave him a conditional discharge of three months for failing to attend Warwick Camp. His lawyer, Sean Tucker, said: "Mr. Kempe's service is essentially finished, saved for these 12 days. He has done one of them already, as part of an agreement.'' Kempe, 22, of 5 Littleholme Lane, Southampton, has finished his three-year military service, having been drafted in 1995. But he had not finished the extra duty which was "conduct prejudicial to the good order'' of the Regiment.
SCHOOLBOY ADMITS THEFT, JOYRIDE CTS Schoolboy admits theft, joyride "That was some joyride! You had those cops panting,'' a magistrate told a juvenile cycle thief yesterday before delaying sentencing until January.
"I saw you smiling when you remembered that ride,'' Magistrate Carlisle Greaves told the Pembroke boy. "Cha! Man you put some miles on that odometer.
We will have to see what the probation officers say about you.'' The 15 year old pleaded guilty in Juvenile Court to stealing a Rockford Cycles livery bike on July 29, using a fraudulent licence number, riding while disqualified, riding in a manner dangerous to the public, and failing to stop for Police.
Out of school uniform, the boy stood and looked at the ceiling as Police Insp.
Peter Giles read out the facts.
He will return to court on January 19 when a social inquiry report should be ready and he is scheduled to be sentenced. The boy admitted the charges with his mother present at Hamilton Police Station, saying he had hot wired the bike and changed the plate. He had no previous convictions.
Yesterday he told Mr. Greaves: "Well, I know what I did was wrong and I am sorry and it will never happen again.'' LOBSTER IMPORTER DISMISSED CTS Lobster importer dismissed Charges have been thrown out against the manager of wholesaler Viking Foods accused of importing undersized lobsters from Brazil.
But Magistrate Archibald Warner warned the man, Roger Lee, he may be brought back before the courts as a representative of the company rather than an individual.
"I'm going to dismiss Mr. Lee and it's up to the prosecutors to take the proper steps for this matter,'' Mr. Warner told Crown counsel Leighton Rochester. "He can't plead guilty to this because there are no facts to support him importing the lobster.'' He dismissed the case after hearing Fisheries inspectors went to Lindo's Market in Devonshire on October 10 and found 63 undersized Rock Lobster (Panulirus Argus).
A manager at Lindo's, Gary Stott, said he had not realised the lobster were undersized and said they had been purchased from Viking Foods.
Lee, whose address is given as the Viking warehouse, told the arresting officers: "I accept responsibility. It's not Lindo's fault. I'm sorry about this.''
