Panama Trial Prejudged Says Defense Lawyer
A Panama assembly member allegedly claimed most lawmakers favored convicting impeached President Jose Ramon Guizado before his trial began. Defense attorney Guillermo Marquez said he has witnesses to prove widespread pretrial conviction talk as Guizado faces homicide charges in President Jose Antonio Remon's Jan 2 assassination. The trial entered its sixth day with a defense summation after prosecution rested and sought a 36 year term. Guizado, a Vanderbilt-educated civil engineer, rose from vice president after Remon's murder and was impeached 14 days later amid Ruben Miro’s confession, which Miro later repudiated.
