Former Police Commissioner Rear Admiral Lewin was the subject of intense cross examination during the morning session as the Manatt/Dudus Commission of Enquiry resumed its sitting on day 10.
Attorney representing the Jamaica Labour Party, Frank Phipps Q.C sought answers from Admiral Lewin about his knowledge of the request for the extradition of Christopher "Dudus" Coke before the official paper work was forwarded to the Jamaican Government.
Admiral Lewin was questioned about how the information came to his attention.
However when pressed by Mr. Phipps as to whether the information was brought to his notice, by his wife who is also an employee in the US Embassy, Mr. Lewin refused to confirm or deny.
Mr. Phipps went a step further in trying to determine from Admiral Lewin whether the issue of Coke's pending extradition was the subject of discussions between the former Police Commissioner and his spouse.
The line of questioning did not go down well with some of the Attorneys present, who later requested the intervention of the Commission's Chairman.
In the meantime, Commission Chairman, Emil George Q.C was forced to rule that Admiral Lewin quote from a copy of the highly classified memoranda signed between US, UK and Jamaican officials.
Admiral Lewin had earlier expressed the wish not to handle the classified document, and later refused to identify the names or signatories of the officials on the copy of the memoranda, noting that he had great difficulty revealing the names of either agents of the US or Jamaica.
And the former Police Commissioner testified that the security forces had created an alliance to deal with the request for Coke's extradition even before its arrival.
However, Admiral Lewin refused to divulge the nature of the procedures despite Mr. Phipps' urging.
