Port Rico Constitution Upheld In Ortiz Murder Case
United States District Judge Lochren ruled that the treaty ratification made Porto Rico American territory under U S constitutional law. Ortiz, a Porto Rican, was denied habeas corpus as the military court had jurisdiction since war existed between signing and ratification. The decision holds Congress could not legislate for the island until the treaty was ratified by both governments. Judge Lochren noted military control existed during the interim and Ortiz’s conviction by military court was proper.
