Months of international legal wrangling culminated in Jahmel Blakeney appearing in court yesterday to face charges over a double shooting.Mr Blakeney, the son of Cabinet Minister Glenn Blakeney, was extradited from the United States on Friday, some 16 months after leaving Bermuda.He stands accused of attempting to murder Shaki Minors and his pregnant girlfriend Renee Kuchler outside Southside Cinema in November 2009.The pair, who were gunned down as they left a late-night movie, have since recovered from their injuries.Dressed in a grey sweatshirt, Mr Blakeney, 29, stood silently as Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner read two charges of attempted murder to him.He was flanked by five uniformed police officers and two plain-clothed detectives during the two-minute appearance. He was not required to enter a plea as the charges must be dealt with by the Supreme Court.Prosecutor Cindy Clarke requested a further hearing in two weeks, and defence lawyer Charles Richardson made no application for bail.Mr Blakeney was arrested along with another man, Sanchey Grant, 19, from Warwick, the day after the shooting.He travelled to the US, where he has citizenship, on November 30, 2009, after being released on police bail. He was charged in his absence at Magistrates’ Court on April 26, 2010 and arrested by US Marshals at a residence in Brooklyn, New York on June 10.The Bermuda Government commenced extradition proceedings, which Mr Blakeney challenged in the US courts. He was eventually flown back to Bermuda on Friday evening after losing his final appeal.Mr Blakeney’s father, who is the Minister for Youth and Families, did not attend yesterday’s court hearing.Co-accused Sanchey Grant was charged at Magistrates’ Court on April 22, 2010 with the same charges of attempted murder. A third man, 25-year-old Kinte Smith, was charged on April 14, 2011.Prosecutor Robert Welling told Supreme Court on Friday that Mr Smith left Bermuda two days after the shooting and went to Canada. He was brought back to Bermuda on March 9, 2011, having been deported from Canada.Mr Smith also appeared at Magistrates’ Court yesterday morning, for an administrative hearing. Like Mr Blakeney, he must return to court for a further hearing in two weeks.The case against the three men will eventually be dealt with by the Supreme Court, where Mr Grant has already entered a not guilty plea.
