Christopher 'Dudus' Coke, once the most feared underworld enforcer in Jamaica, is to appear in a United States (US) court today faced with the prospect of spending more than 20 years in prison.
Since pleading guilty to conspiracy and racketeering charges in August 2011, Coke has had to wait almost seven months to hear his fate.
Initially, he was scheduled to be sentenced on December 8, 2011 but the court agreed that more time was needed and the sentencing date was shifted to January 17 this year.
Days before that sentencing, Coke's lawyers requested a further delay to February 28 and later sought time to respond to a hard-hitting submission by the prosecutors, causing a third postponement of the sentencing.
But with all the motions filed and the arguments made, today is D-Day for the man whose word was once law in his west Kingston enclave and as far away as New York.
