Jorge Sosa

Jorge Sosa: But a defence lawyer suggested that former special forces officer Jorge Sosa answered the questions on his naturalization form as most soldiers would and urged jurors in a California courtroom to focus their attention on the papers he filed, not the horrific accounts of the killings, according to Times Colonist. Prosecutors say Sosa was a member of a special forces patrol that surrounded the village of Dos Erres in a search for weapons believed stolen by guerrillas. The weapons were never found and prosecutors say the patrol decided to kill the villagers, throwing their bodies into a well, after some of the soldiers began raping the women and RIVERSIDE, Calif. - A former Guatemalan soldier charged with lying on his citizenship application about his alleged role in an army-led massacre three decades ago was on the run from his past and sought refuge in the U.S., a federal prosecutor said on Monday. The arguments came after four days of graphic testimony in Sosa's trial on charges of making false statements and obtaining American citizenship unlawfully. If convicted, the 55-year-old former second lieutenant could face up to 15 years in federal prison and lose his American citizenship. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
