Jamaican Drug Kingpin Captured

Jamaican authorities were calling for calm after fugitive drug baron Christopher "Dudus" Coke was taken into custody late Tuesday, shortly before he tried to turn himself in to officials at the U.S. Embassy in Kingston. Two former Am Law 100 lawyers are weighing in on the matter, as is the firm embroiled in the long-running controversy over his extradition, Manatt, Phelps & Phillips.
