Self-confessed drug dealer Peter Morgan will have to wait until February to learn his sentence following a fourth postponement granted by a New York court.
Morgan was expected to be sentenced yesterday but the case was not called and a new sentencing schedule has placed his case before Senior Judge Edward R. Korman on February, 5, 2010.
Morgan had pleaded guilty to conspiring to import cocaine into the US, an admission that could likely see him spend at least the next ten years in jail.
He was nabbed in March 2007 in Trinidad by Trinidadian and US authorities while he was in-transit at the Piarco International Airport.
He was extradited to the US on August 23, 2007, after he withdrew a last-ditch appeal he had made in the Port-of-Spain Appellate Court.
According to one of the charges Morgan faced, some time between October 1, 2001 and August 31, 2003, he knowingly and intentionally conspired with David Narine, Susan Narine, Hung-Fung Mar and other persons unknown, to traffic in cocaine by importation.
The second charge, which he did not plead to, alleged that some time between December 1, 2001 and August 31, 2003, he trafficked in cocaine by importation.
