Dewani is reported to be relying on his being "too unwell to stand trial" in his appeal against extradition.
This appeal is futile because the Defence with the psychiatrists evidence, Hugo Keith for the SA authorities and Judge Riddle himself ALL AGREED that Dewani was "currently unfit to plead".
The legal point made by Judge Riddle was this is not a bar to extradition. Dewani and his lawyers ca ...n tell the trial Judge in Cape Town whether he is unfit to plead. That Court will then decide if their is a case for him to answer regarding the murder. If it decides there isnt, he will be discharged. if it decides there is then either they will make special arrangements in the Court trial or he will be kept in an SA hospital for treatment till he is able to plead and stand trial.
