Trial of slain nun about to begin in Brazil

-Contributed by Erwin Cifuentes. The trial of the murder of U.S.-born nun and environmentalist Dorothy Stang will begin this week in Belem, Brazil. Two men are accused of being hired hitmen and killing Stang last February in a dispute over land. The trial will decide whether Stang’s death was a premeditated plan by ranchers or a lesser degree of murder.
