Ex-cop convicted of Mexican Cardinal’s death

-Contributed by Erwin Cifuentes. A Mexican court sentenced a hitman that murdered a Roman Catholic cardinal in Guadalajara in 1993. The supposed motive of Cardinal Juan Jesus Posadas Ocampo’s death was that the killers confused Ocampo’s car with that of a rival drug lord, though church figures allege that Ocampo was killed since he knew about possible links between drug dealers and government officials.
