Wow.

Things are busy in Puerto Rico right now. Today I was lucky enough to be in the courtroom to witness the Governor face federal charges. As reported in the New York Times, "Aníbal S. Acevedo Vilá, the governor of Puerto Rico, has been charged with 19 criminal counts related to the financing of three political campaigns from 1999 to 2004, including conspiracy to violate federal campaign laws, wire fraud and illegally using campaign funds for his personal use, according to a federal indictment unsealed on Thursday." http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/27/us/27cnd-puerto.html?ei=5070&en=2dd5e68b0674f636&ex=1207281600&adxnnl=1&emc=eta1&adxnnlx=1206717531-RZ0ABihneG0tO+lfBpY+ew

The Governor plead not guilty to all charges.
