Very unsettling indeed, but not unexpected. It seems that the wheels of justice turn slowly and sometimes come off their rims. Peter will have to spend quite a bit of money to defend himself and hopefully get acquitted. If he doesn't beat it, it will be a damned shame. Justice, at least in Honduras and the Bay Islands is a lot of times hard to come by. Injustice strikes everyone, and it just seems to affect ex-pats a little bit harder than the locals. Don't believe it? Keep up with the news and you'll get a good dose of reality. Peter, we're all pulling for you. We should all line up behind him, this case will tell a lot about how things will go in the future. Rick

I understand that Peter of Port Royal was charged with murder in the case where he killed one of three ARMED intruders in February. It seemed to be a clear case of self defense because the intruders had weapons that were used on the Americans and their lives were in danger. I'm told it has aleady costed thousands of dollars to hire an attorney to fight this case. If anyone has up-to-date news on this case, please pass it along. It's very unsettling that those of us who have made Roatan our home can be charged with a serious crime for defending our lives and property. Marcia Quinn Strehlow castaways01.....com
