Kimberlee Singler, the Colorado Springs mother accused of killing her two children will remain in custody in London, after an extradition hearing expected to wrap up Friday, adjourned until December.
Kimberlee Singler faces the following charges for an incident back in December of 2023 :
- murder
- attempted murder
- child abuse
On Friday, the prosecution asked for more time to review fresh evidence the United States wants to add to the case, due to scheduling concerns and obtaining the evidence the decision was made to adjourn until December 2.
The main focus of the three-day extradition hearing was around the European Convention on Human Rights. Edward Fitzgerald KC, Singler’s defense attorney who has also represented WikiLeaks Co-Founder Julian Assange during his extradition case, argues that the extradition process would violate Article 3 of the convention and that defendants can not be extradited to a country where the sentence would not allow for parole.
Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights states that “no one shall be subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment,” by which Fitzgerald argued heavily Thursday that under Colorado law there are no cases with the charges that Singler faces would allow for her to be eligible for parole or some sort of commutation (reducing the severity of her punishment).
