The windows were still covered up, no indications of a new business were immediately evident (at least, from where we were standing)...yet there were definitely people inside.

Gónzalo Martínez-Fresneda, Garzón's lawyer, says a message has been sent to other magistrates that "they should not investigate the Franco regime's crimes or question the law of amnesty." If Garzón is convicted, he won't face any jail time but he could be removed from the bench for up to 20 years. (Read: "Exhuming...
