Since Garay had implicated him just hours before, the marshals felt they had to act before the suspect caught wind of the news and fled. "It was a scam, but it worked," said Mell Hess of the U.S. Marshals Service...
Last week ARENA took out a two-page ad in the daily El Diario de Hoy charging Duarte with "fabricating false and contradictory testimony to defame D'Aubuisson." It added that a more likely suspect was Colonel Reinaldo Lopez Nuila, former commander of the National Police and a friend of Duarte's.

Stanford Law Professor Jack Friedenthal predicts, "He would start with the fact that it has been decided. I strongly suspect he would never have voted for it in the first place, but part of judicial restraint is the question of whether a person is going to reverse a Supreme Court decision that is now part of the fabric of society." Even if it is not reversed, however, Roe could...
