Declaring angrily that "this is the shame of Colombia when a man can't defend himself," Rojas clamped on his hat and left. Two days later, the verdict was read to the empty yellow chair reserved for the defendant. Next week the sentence will be handed down. Maximum penalty from the Senate: loss of political rights, e.g., the right to vote, and his pensions as former general and President. Upon review...
