Guatemala: Trial
Ordered in Lawyer’s Slaying
GUATEMALA (ap) - A Guatemalan judge has
ordered that eight suspects stand trial in
the fatal shooting of a prominent lawyer who
accused the country’s president, Álvaro
Colom, of his murder in a video made before
his death.
Judge Verónica Galicia said Friday that she
ordered the suspects to stand trial after
hearing recorded telephone calls that tied
them to the killing of the lawyer, Rodrigo
Rosenberg.
Earlier this month, United Nations
investigators said Mr. Rosenberg, shot while
riding his bicycle last May, had arranged
his own death.
Investigators said he might have been motivated by personal problems. His
killing and his video set off protests
against Mr. Colom.
