Long and short of it...
27 year old guy goes down to Nicaragua to live. Gets into real-estate, starts a magazine...becomes fairly successful. His ex-gf (a Nicaraguan chick) gets brutally murdered 3 hours from where he was that day. 10 witnesses who are very creditable place him 3 hours away on top of a mountain of other evidence. Local judge throws it all out of court; he gets convicted of 30 years in Nicaraguan jail.

This kid was by no means a saint in my opinion. I get the feeling that he's as cocky as can be and probably was down their banging the bejesus out of every 3rd world girl in sight.
And despite the fact that I've been in business w/ 3rd world countries for almost 5 years now and heard my fair share of horror stories....this still was pretty unbelievable.
This kid might have been a little prick; but seriously....no excuse for this crap. Embargo their ass back to civil war
