UPDATE: Erickson would not receive fair trial in USA, lawyers argued
Defence lawyers in the appeal against Nyron ‘Batt’ Erickson’s extradition from the BVI to the United States wanted the court to consider that he would not receive a fair trial once extradited, court documents show.
Erickson, who was represented by Queens Counsel Edward Fitzgerald along with attorneys Hugh Wildman and Valerie Gordon, was fighting extradition to the US after being indicted on charges of conspiracy to launder monetary funds from outside the USA and unlawfully transporting those funds into the USA.
The defendant and his other co-accused were further charged with two counts of concealed bulk cash smuggling in amounts over $10,000 into the USA.
Attorneys further argued that his extradition would not be in the interests of justice, would constitute a disproportionate interference with the rights and interests of his family and that it was an abuse of process.
Erickson’s attorneys relied upon the evidence of two experienced US defence attorneys to support his claim that he would experience a “flagrant denial of justice” and a breach of his right to a fair trial if extradited.
There was also an argument that a case was not made out in the extradition material for Erickson’s extradition.
But prosecutors contended that the particulars of the offences supplied in the request for extradition were sufficient and adequate for the purposes of the legislation.
Prosecutors further contended that there was nothing unlawful or oppressive in the American plea-bargaining system and argued that the senior magistrate correctly rejected previously, the argument that Erickson would be punished for exercising his right to trial.
Meanwhile, Justice Richard Floyd in his ruling sided with prosecutors in noting that the court recognizes and supports the presumption that Erickson will receive a fair trial in the US.
Justice Floyd ruled that, although Erickson has the right to liberty and security, a section of the constitution allows for the deprivation of that right for effecting the expulsion, extradition or other lawful removals of persons from the BVI.
In the end, judge Floyd found that it would not be oppressive, unjust or an abuse of process for the extradition of Erickson to proceed. He, therefore, dismissed his appeal before the court.
The Crown was represented by Queens Counsel John Black and Principal Crown Counsel Fiona Forbes-Vanterpool.

In all my life, I have never travelled with cash in excess of $10K. Indeed, I have never travelled with a single $K. I’m too poor. I can barely afford my airline ticket least 50K in my luggage.
The law is clear. You have to declare any money over $10K. Don’t…you find your way on the road to extradition or imprisonment.
“A search of Erickson’s luggage uncovered approximately $50,000. Thereafter, Erickson was arrested.”
You can run but eventually you will run out of places to hide, certainly not from the U.S who are persistent in apprehending those whom they deem have violated U.S. laws.
All this time he was running and evading the authorities, he could have manned up and got this mess over with. Now, he has to deal with it the hard way.
Listen up folks: There is no get rich scheme in this life that does not have some form of negative consequences.
The only way forward to making a good life is to work for everything you will get and live within your means. There is no crime in being poor.
So it go! No more splurging, no more internet posting for you kiddo! Yah money cannot stretch in tha USA ?? and none cares who you be. Mommy gonna enjoy spending yah gwop and no naney for you for quite sometime. Reap what you’ve sown. Them diamonds and gold links gonna get leave behind when you’re shipped out in shackles. Rise fast, fall hard! Adios! Fresh meat for dem yankee hard timers. Gonna squeal like a ? when you feel what a real pen feels like.

Wozza that is harsh. You had so much skills that would have taken you far in a non illegal world. Its such a shane you followed the family business because it would have taken longer but you still would have made millions. Your boat fixing and driving skills had so much promise to make honest money.
I hope one day you use it as a force for good to help educate young BVI men so they dont follow your path.
He doesn’t look guilty at all….hahaha.
Them boys west end flossing all his things will take his place in ballo. Zulu Spittle ain looking good. Biggest poppy show is Ire*e children
IF THE US AIN’T GOT NOTHING ON HIM , THEN EITHER THE DEVIL OR THE WHITE LADY HAS / AND IF YOU SO CONCERNED YOU CAN SWAP PLACES, AM SURE HE WILL REWARD YOU ?
Two byrds one stone…fat boy got company
@anonymous that ok let the white man come all he would do lock us up for our crime but the boy k*** out of envy and jealously a big difference there. Let the US deal with his sick a** thinking he is some mafia he needs to watch the end of the movie the law always win or you die. End of chapter.
Just like she did his father when he fell jail .
old people say , the sins of the presents will visit their children ,or the ? don’t fall too far from the tree ?
We have somebody posting links to a totally different case and it’s obviously some of the likers didn’t even read because it was a waste of my time because that one about some Akil Erickson not Mr. Westbank.

Have you seen the Affidavit? Hush up then!
@@#:)I’m talking solely about the link that was posted not this particular case. I thought that was clear by my post but I forget being able to read and comprehension doesn’t always go hand and hand.
All of you haters and naysayers just STFU, mind you and your own family business and make sure you know who’s doing what and who’s involved in what. And since you all are without sin, then throw the first stone.
i doubt he will even have that dubious pleasure. A Visit to Florence awaits I think. Not the nice one in Italy, the very nasty one in Colorado. 23 hours a day alone in a cell , 365 days a year. Only documentaries and religion on the tv.
You got to be he dutty mother
Blackaaaa doing all the ratting in Puerto Rico
Now the s**ter going to suffer. Leeching off her br**her for her man whiles still f**king Jar**m. That’s good for their nasty wicked sk**t!

He was living like a king in our little jokey prison. Let’s see how he handles himself among real criminals in the US..
How do you know US authorities don’t have anything on hom? Why would they want to extradite him if he did not?
Official #1 and associates are having too much time to cover their tracks, get them one time.
think again the spider’s Web is closing in on those who think they are untouchable , you forgot the saint Andrew walked into it in Miami with his eyes wide open and his calculator in his hand , instead of his bible ( the rest hang themselves by sing like canaries ) watch and see ? they have sold their souls to the devil?
All of them in that nasty circle, f-Ing each other and liming with each other. Early mornings she at jar**m house like she his wife instead she go watch her ugly pickneys. Always have them by the grandfather. All of them getting the karma for that little girl * kill. And lil Sh**n obeah man not sleeping
Tea is the man is there for the benefits be getting from West Bank, not for the sister
Tea is the child father is there to benefit from West Bank, he don’t care about the sister. That’s why they both be cheating on each other
Tea is the man is there for the benefits from West Bank and he afraid if he leave the sister, they will x him. That’s why he switched and sell out Shawn.

I don’t know anything about anything but you young ppl clearly talk way to much & put all your dirty laundry out to the open. When we were young our grandparents were grown women & they used to say ‘Only when wind blow you does see fowl bottom’ but it looks like no wind needs to blow for you all with the internet. Stop and think before you type. Esp when you start talking about people who not even in the story smh. You’re informing on yourself not on others. Has tola lost all our cultural values?
You sound vex, they only being themselves pissy tail children, they can’t behave like anything else.
As the world turn, another one bite the dust. Yes take them one by one, sell ALL their assets of illegal profits by government auctions and replenish our treasury. As for mommy, strip she too of assets as obtained by deception!!PERIODT CLEAN OUR HOME! ✋

The hate and grudge this young man have for people, especially people that isn’t on his level financially says a lot. That’s why he can’t get out of his situation.

Wow! Is it a co-incident that both him and the former Premier will be in US custody, or is it that the dominoes are begining to fall. Guess there should be some level of peace at HMP and the country on a whole when no longer can call his thugs to do his dirty deeds. Its just a matter of time

Know the people Ayo talking bout. Praying family or not God don’t like ugly..,

L S f**k is own friends over. Short paid them! Stole from them. He even said his mother can’t control money and every business she has always have to be closed down. His family is greed! He ain’t no saint that’s why he got his death. He deserved this on tho cause how much times he going f**k his friends over ? Nyron had nothing to do with his death. His own very friends were tired of him. His own friends did it.

Galatians 5:19-21
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Ever stop to think the case may be linked since it’s family?

You all dislike my comments but it’s facts in court the USA said it them self. They have nothing on him. But their want him up they so their xan build what them need. The news need to post the facts what was said in court.
The case is different true, but they are first cousins.
Won’t receive a fair trial? Do we even need a trial? $50K was found in his luggage! Guilty!
Fact
That dude has more bling than Jayzee!
Nyron does allegedly run drugs with them cruz man. Them same man that just get indicted on drugs and murder going squeal on he. Watch the dominoes fall! Good riddance!
For all who have commented and condemn the peaceful young man with federal prison and allege accusations by federal agency first United stated federal statutes and codes must first establish jurisdiction second the law clearly defined under Brady Act the government must provided all confidential informants and all statements that will be use as evidence to indict or used at trial
6th amendment U.S. constitution commands compulsory process all witnesses or informant must be live presented before the court
Little brother don’t live anyone put fear of federal law agents are not above the law and it have a law call Bivens Action where the agent can be sue in their individual capacity and lose their house Job and career google Bivens action and you will see
Money laundering is not as easy for government to win simple because of the some money talks money is not illegal like some fools are thought to think
Youngsters Nayron hold your head up and jah will be at your side
