Trial Delay Hits Four Guardsmen in 1980 Murders
An appeals court delays the trial of four Salvadoran national guardsmen charged in the 1980 killings of four American churchwomen including Ita Ford and Maura Clarke. The judge seeks more evidence from a lower court to support the robbery theory behind the murders near San Vicente. The case stems from December 4, 1980, deaths that involved signs of rape and a shallow grave.
