Went and read the interview with Michael Hyatt, good interview. Are the two college students in jail ever going to get their trial? Do you know how close they are to having this nightmare for them over?
I just checked the No Mas Muertes site, and it looks as if no new date has been scheduled as of yet.
Here’s the link to No Mas Muertes
Man eeGee might might know more too….
Thanks for the link. This is such a travesty of justice in the true sense of the word that it is almost impossible to believe these college students continue to sit in jail with not even a trial date yet.
