                             :: ERIC VOLZ TO BE RETRIED IN NICARAGUA ::


The Nicaraguan government has just announced that Eric Volz will be retried this morning at 9am Central in the Nicaraguan Supreme Court. The announcement was a total surprise and the way in which the court is proceeding is completely illegal and politically motivated.

Newspapers in Nicaragua reported yesterday that the appellate ruling of innocence will most likely be overturned and Eric will be re-convicted for the murder of Doris Jimenez.  There is speculation that President Daniel Ortega may be using the case to provoke the U.S., since the U.S. government has expressed concerns over the status of Democracy in Nicaragua.
