Extradition of Israeli to U.S. denied JERUSALEM, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- An Israeli judge says a U.S. man convicted of manslaughter in Florida can't be deported to the United States because Florida prisons don't serve kosher food. Judge Ben-Tzion Greenberger said sending Lawrence Seth Wayne back to Florida to serve 19 years in prison for a 1998 hit-and-run accident would violate Wayne's right to practice his religion. Greenberger said Wayne could only be extradited if Florida provided him with kosher food or allowed him to serve out his sentence in one of the 35 U.S. states that do provide its prisoners with kosher food, Haaretz reported Tuesday. Florida prison officials have said Wayne must begin serving his sentence in Florida while going through the process of requesting a transfer to another state. Wayne was convicted of drunk driving and manslaughter in the death of Donald Cantwell in Delray Beach, Fla., but was allowed to remain free on bail while he appealed his case. He fled the country after losing his appeal and entered Israel in 2000 with a forged passport. He was arrested last year in Israel with the help of Israeli police.
