Breaking News: Peter Morgan jailed for 10 years
By editor | February 5, 2010 in Local News



Race car driver Peter Morgan was this afternoon sentenced to ten years in jail by a Brooklyn Federal Court on a drug trafficking charge but could be out in six years based on the period he has already been incarcerated.

Morgan’s sentence in New York is one of a series in recent months of Guyanese headlined by drug kingpin Roger Khan who was sentenced to 15 years in jail last year.

Morgan had pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to import drugs into the US. His sentencing was delayed on several occasions, a sign sources say that there was a plea deal.

The businessman was facing a three-count indictment which accused him of conspiring to import, possess and distribute five kilogrammes of cocaine between December 2001 and August 2003.

He was nabbed in March 2007 in Trinidad by Trinidadian and US authorities while he was in-transit at 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. Morgan had initially attempted to have the extradition order made by Trinidad Chief Magistrate Sherman McNicolls on April 30, 2007, reversed. His lawyers had appealed but this was dismissed in the High Court and then a new appeal was filed.

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.

The path to easy money eventually comes to an end. Morgan had a lifetime of living while he reigned as a drug lord. Now his time had come to an end but still he got off with a relatively easy sentence.

If not, use the majority in Parliament to make it legal. Charles Ramson (AG) is BAD MF. He has got the balls. All Jagabat has to do is to give him the 'go ahead".

Does Jagabat have the balls?

Not necessarily singling him out.

But if Guyana's laws are not designed to seize the assest of convicted individuals like him ... then indeed Guyana should pursue enabling legislation -- similar to what exist in other countries.

Noted Nehru.

However, Guyana should have enabling leglislation to seize assets.

As checks and balances ... it should be shown/proven that the assets in Guyana are obtained from activities for which a person is convicted.

You will note that Morgan was arrested in TRINIDAD. Why not Guyana....oh they are too busy arresting insignificant mules so dont have time for those who are really responsible for drug trafficking.

The extradition laws are antiquated and besides he was kidnapped unlawfully by the American without any evidence of wrong doing that would hold up in court. Many of these folks cave in to the demands of the US prosecution after they spend all their life savings on lawyers and countless years in prison just waiting for their case to be tried. They just cut a plea bargain to save time and money.

So you are saying he isnt guilty? Believe me a little pretty boy like Morgan who by now ha sno money isnt volunteering to go to jail unless he has homosexual tendencies and wants a big man to make him awife. His isnt going to the "golf course" jail. Even Stanford has been beaten up or maybe wors ein jail.

I am saying there was no evidence presented to the GOG to incriminate Morgan, in response to your question as to why he had to be kidnapped in Trinidad. Now your assumption that he will be a sex slave in prison simply because he is Indians exposes your racist mind.

I thought we improved our laws with respect to racketeering, tax evasion and money laundering. His assets are all of the poisoned fruit.

Just for your information - Peter Morgan was once found with a huge consignment of guns in Guyana. His connections to the PPP cartel ensured that he was never convicted just as Roger Khan's charges were dropped when he himself was arrested with guns, ammunition and the spying equipment that the PPP helped him to acquire.

Imagine, a whole container of guns and ammunition and not a damn charge was ever laid.

Peter Morgan also shot and killed a bartender and charges were dropped when the eyewitnesses declined to testify after being threatened.

Peter Morgan Sentenced To 10 Years

So if he was give ten years and he already spent three, another two for good behavior and then he can be spending four more years in prison, then deported back to Guyana, but if the squeals on his colleagues in the PPP then he may get out earlier than four more years with a new identity and then remain in the United States, and have it made.
