A 26-year-old suspect with a history of epileptic seizures died in court Monday morning before his scheduled arraignment. Jermaine Adderley, of Dorchester Street, who was charged last year with having ecstasy, marijuana, and prescription drugs, was arrested on new charges on January 10. Prosecutors allege that Adderley, Michael Newland, 39, and Tristan Johnson, 18, were found with 7.8 ounces of marijuana, 187 ecstasy pills, 21 grams of ecstasy powder, which they intended to supply and possession of one gram of cocaine. Adderley’s lawyer, Keith Seymour, was present in court for his client’s final moments. He told the court that Adderley was in distress when he arrived at Deputy Chief Magistrate Andrew Forbes’ courtroom around 10:30 a.m. for the arraignment.
