Today’s Video: Eric Volz’ prison tape

Last December, Eric Volz was released from a Nicaraguan prison after an appellate court overruled his conviction for murder. His case received much attention in Nicaragua and the U.S.; Volz’ supporters claimed that his conviction was unjust due to a shady judicial process while critics said that he was released due to his status as a U.S. citizen.

Yesterday, the Friends of Eric Volz blog released a brief video of an imprisoned Volz which he supposedly took secretly in January 2007. In the clip, he talks about his time in jail and thanks his supporters for sticking by him.
