He has also constructed his final resting place, a brown marble tomb under a solitary banyan tree. Estrada, 70, will, it seems, have a comfortable retirement as he tends his vegetable garden and rice paddies and looks after his ducks and other animals, the same place he has spent most of the six years it has taken for the court to reach a verdict...
