Marc Emery Could be Extradited Next Year; Hearing Set For February 2009

After a hearing in B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday, the extradition process will be back in court in December and lawyers suggested another set of hearings in February.

The extradition had been on hold while Emery negotiated plea arrangements with U.S. prosecutors. Emery had struck a deal that would have seen him convicted on both sides of the border and sentenced to five years, but Canadian authorities turned it down at the end of March. Under the deal Emery would have served a few months in jail in the U.S. and the balance of his sentence in Canada. Rainey and Williams would have been spared jail time.

In the meantime Emery said he'll continue to expand his hemp business on Vancouver's West Hastings Street. "By the time they extradite me, maybe the whole block will be named after me," he said. "The Marc Emery Hempire."
