Jury Finds Four Men Guilty in Assassination of Haitian President

A jury in Miami has convicted four men of conspiracy and murder in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse. The trial, which began nearly two months ago, concluded with guilty verdicts against the defendants involved in the plot that killed the Caribbean nation's leader. The case was heard in Miami federal court, where prosecutors presented evidence of the conspiracy that led to Moïse's death in July 2021 at his private residence in Haiti. The assassination plunged Haiti deeper into political chaos and violence, leaving the impoverished nation without stable leadership amid ongoing gang violence and economic crisis.
