 seaman in limbo in Spanish jail - NovaScotia - TheChronicleHerald.ca: "Philip Halliday was jailed last December after more than a tonne of the drug was found on the Destiny Empress, but he’s still waiting trial on a charge of trafficking in cocaine, his wife, Sheree, said in an interview.

Halliday said her husband, who has always maintained his innocence, is languishing in a Spanish jail.

'He’s trying to keep his spirits up. He really is,' she said.

That’s proving difficult because her 54-year-old husband is very sick, Halliday said.

He is suffering from a gall bladder problem, which has been complicated by the fact that he has become jaundiced and that malady is affecting his liver.

'There is a very real possibility that he could develop septicemia and die,' she said."
