Today in Magistrate's court, an application was made for his provisional arrest for 60 days. Tillett is the subject of an extradition request by Mexican authorities. When the Chief Magistrate asked Tillett what he had to say on his own behalf, Tillett said he hoped that he would not be remanded to prison in his condition after still trying to recover from his recent gunshot injuries. Tillett, who was unrepresented told the court that this is the third time that he has been detained and arrested in regards to that murder in Mexico.
In consideration of his condition - the Chief Magistrate remanded him for the 60 days but required that he be brought back to court at the end of the month to see if he is being properly accommodated at the prison.
