Nicaragua: Eric Volz
Nicaragua
Bloggings by Boz links to a Miami Herald article about Eric Volz, a 27-year-old California native imprisoned in Nicaragua for rape and homicide. Writes Boz, “it doesn't sound like the Nicaraguan authorities have any evidence other than one convicted drug trafficker's statement to back up their arrest.” Citizen 192 has posted a documentary video from Volz's friends, families, and supporters. Revaz Ardesher meditates on the need for empathy in his effort to bring about Volz's release. Liestoppers and Loneprairie have more.

eric volz has no other guilt i can see except maybe his possible seemed arrogance as a successful american gone misunderstood…he must of had other women of interest
I think it is important for everyone who cares about this case to let there opinions known to people that can make a difference… not just talk among ourselves.
Call your representatives to let them know they need to take action.
Call the Nicaraguan consulates. Let them know that this is injustice. Let them know it is scary and that let them know that you will NOT visit Nicaragua in the fear that the same could happen to you.

Someone needs to organize a ban on tourism and investment to Nicaragua so that justice is served. That will make the Nic government take action.
Did any one see Eric commit the crime? Was a thorough investigation done on all evidence against Eric? How about investigation on the alibi of the others. For instance, one of the defendents claims that he was signing up for classes; and, he did show a piece of paper that, suposedly, proves that he’s telling the truth. Was there a follow up to verify that this piece of paper was legit and not forged or created after the fact? You’ll be surprise what money and who you know can do for a sinner in Nicaragua. Pata y plata (who you know and money make good friends).
Is Eric guilty beyond reasonable doubt?
In Nicaragua if you play fair and by the rules you’ll loose.
Nicaragua is border line Anarchy type of government. Actually, a government do exist on paper; but, it doesn’t carry much weight.
So what’s going on? The answer is not hard to figure out: The big wigs are too busy fattening their bellies and their Swiss bank accounts; meanwhile, the less priviledged, less important people do as they please, including: making their own rules as they go.
Is a mind game.
What about Eric? He didn’t understand how to play the game and got caught on the cross fire.
The game is so simple that most people, specially foreigners, don’t realize that they are players in a game of deceit, intrigue, comedy and lots of drama.
What about Eric? What could he have done? Very good question, with a simple answer. Run!
He would have been better off packing his bag and adios! (goodbye!) Nicaragua. No, it would not have been an admission of guilt; that’s just the way the game is played; you (the player) can also make your own rules as you go. The best way to play and stay on top is to be a step, or two, or three ahead of the game.
The object of the game is to anticipate the freight train coming your way and get out of its way.
Eric Volz simply happened to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time in history. Eric Volz is caught in the middle of the evil and harsh reality of politics, prejudice, emotions and self-interests.
Good post Vince. Couldn’t have said it better myself except to add that you don’t need plata to get something done there. A bottle of glue will work as well.
And Kein, re your post on Apr 6 “he was sort of a shady charecter, not to mention the fact he had cuts all over his chest”.
The only place I’ve heard this is from you. Interesting that you would know something no one else knows. Or perhaps you don’t know the difference between bruises and cuts. Or perhaps you don’t even know the difference between a chest and a shoulder. Or perhaps you know the difference between both but you have some personal agenda to want to hang Eric by telling falsehoods.
I am a Nicaraguan Born US Citizen, BUT this just makes me SICK!!! I can’t believe they would do this to an innocent young man!! My prayers are with Eric and his family and hopefully there will be something that can be done soon!!!
well i think eric is damn innocent i think the other guys is guilty i was aqui y ahora yesterday he straight out looks guilty
