Bridgetown.
Raul Garcia will be released from the custody of the Immigration Department tomorrow.
Justice Margaret Reifer last week conluded her intensive examination of the two families who had offered their homes to the former Cuban drug convict.
Yesterday in her chambers, Justice Reifer in the presence of Garica, his lawyer David Comissiong, state attorney Donna Brathwaite and immigration officials, adjourned the sitting for tomorrow at 3 p.m., at which time she will tell the former convict which of two families he would be allowed to live with.
Yesterday was the first since the hearings started, that Garcia addressed the court.
According to his lawyer, the Cuban was so overwhelmed by emotion, he had to cut short his comments to the judge.
In her final decision, the judge will say if Garcia will live with the elderly husband and wife family or the female householder who had been proposed by Comissiong.
A third person will be responsible for monitoring the former drug convict’s living arrangements, noted Comissiong.
Judge Reifer is also expected to make other rulings related to the satisfactory living arrangements of Garcia, who had served 20 years for his crime.
