Eric Volz story on Anderson Cooper tonight

I wrote earlier about Eric Volz’s lame trial in Nicaragua, and they’re working on an appeal (which is a good thing, hopefully he’ll get a fair appeal since the trial seemed so unfair). The American newsmedia are picking up on Eric’s plight, and there’s a story about him on Anderson Cooper tonight (CNN).

I urge everyone to watch and also urge you to write your congresspeople about this potential international incident. Nicaragua is such a beautiful and unspoiled paradise, it would be bad to hear about injustice in a fledgling democracy that could deter tourists.

Anderson Cooper’s 360° blog (another Anderson Cooper link! Holy shit!) has this to say about the show tonight:
An American accused of killing a local woman in Nicaragua. He gets 30 years despite a solid alibi and very little evidence. Why such a harsh sentence? Anderson Cooper is keeping them honest. Tune in tonight at 10PM ET/8PM MST.
