Justice for Haiti killings

BOSTON — A federal court in Massachusetts denied a Haitian former mayor’s motion for judgment as a matter of law, and denied his request for a new trial, after he was ordered to pay more than $15 million in damages to the family members and supporters of a human rights advocate who he ordered to be killed for voting for the other candidate, and whose family members the politician either had killed or tortured. There was no miscarriage of justice during the trial.
