For those of you interested in the Stuart Ratner case (if new to this ? see archives), The Habeas Corpus hearing did not go well. The Judge (for Political reasons & apparent lack of interest) found that there MIGHT be a case to answer & he should therefor remain in Prison until his trial. This keeping in goal is standard practice where Drugs are concerned but the hearing itself does leave cause for concern. The lawyers for Mr. Ratner have put in an appeal into Santiago Court & the decision is expected in about 2 months time.
Mr. Ratner has become resigned to his position but would obviously be happy to have some communication with fellow Americans who could offer him some moral support (especially those who have visited his Otro Mundo Restaurant just outside Playa Dorada). If any of you feel you are able to write to him or are prepared to contact influential bodies to ?Question? the circumstances relating to this case, please contact me at the attached E-mail address.
His fellow Americans here seem to have forgotten him or are reluctant to get involved thinking him guilty because of rumours they have heard. One American is actually putting it around that Mr. Ratner has been found GUILTY & that he has been sentenced to 2 years imprisonment & deportment at the end of his sentence which simply is not the case. Mr. Ratner?s lawyer will be only to pleased to keep people aware of the latest developments or you can enquire through this address. Grahame.
