Ruling on Volz Appeal Expected Soon
For those of you unfamiliar with Eric’s situation, he is an American citizen languishing in a Nicaraguan prison having been, as the evidence would overwhelmingly seem to suggest, wrongly convicted of raping and killing his former girlfriend. He was convicted in February and is awaiting an appeal court’s ruling due sometime this month. You can review the issues and facts in an article I posted in March.
For Eric’s family and those of us convinced of his innocence, the ruling cannot come too soon. Once it’s announced, I’ll post another update. Meanwhile, take some time to review the case and this related recent newspaper article.
And please keep Eric and his family in your prayers. If all goes well, he’ll be a free man by month’s end.
Doug

Thanks Doug for the update. Jack and I were just discussing this very matter the other day and wondering what had come of it. We'll keep him and his family in our prayers and hope for a positive outcome.
Thanks for keeping me updated on what has become of this very important travesty of justice. If the judge considering the merits of the case fails to throw it out, then I would advise that no American ever set foot in that country again. This could happen to any of us.
Keep us posted. We are very interested in the outcome of this case.
Is there any news yet?

I'm afraid not. The system in Nicaragua moves at its own slow pace. I'm watching and will update when/if news comes (unless I'm away on vacation; if that's the case, I'll update on my return.)
