Jamal Shyne Barrow is awaiting deportation to Belize, but when is it going
to happen? That’s the question no one seems to have a definite answer
to. His uncle Michael Finnegan told us again today that he has not gotten any
updates.
But whenever he is deported – and that will be soon – it is expected
that Shyne would go through the same procedure that any deportee does. The standard
procedure is that deportees arrive in Belize without handcuffs or restraints,
are processed by police personnel at the airport and then taken down to the
CIU office in the Queen Street police station where they are photographed, and
then set free.
In the case of Shyne, that will be the first taste of freedom he will have
had in almost 9 years. That it will come on Queen Street and not 5th and Broadway
may be a matter of some personal regret but for a man coming off long stint
in prison, we suspect it will hardly matter. According to US media sources,
after Shyne is deported, he will continue the fight to get a pardon but he’ll
do so from Belize.
His father, Prime Minister Dean Barrow has written a letter to the Governor
of New York David Paterson asking for a pardon that would allow him to resume
normal residence in the United States where he grew up along with his mother
and grandmother.
