What's different a year after the wildfires? | SaltWire #novascotia #firefighting #wildfires #newsNEW YORK - Juan Orlando Hernandez, the former Honduras president convicted in March of drug and firearms offenses, failed to persuade a U.S. judge to grant a new trial.
Hernandez said he should have been tried in Florida because he had been allowed to exit a plane bound for New York to use the bathroom in Fort Lauderdale, following his April 2022 extradition from Tegucigalpa.Hernandez, 55, is expected to appeal his conviction. He faces a mandatory minimum 40 years in prison at his scheduled June 26 sentencing. He is being jailed in Brooklyn.
Castel, however, said neither established that cocaine trafficking fell during Hernandez's presidency, and jurors could decide for themselves if Taul was credible.
