Description:

  • Entewogasyon akize Orlando Tima kontinye. Li demanti li te manm FRAPH, ke li te zanmi sòlda ki te kantonnen Gonayiv, epi ke li te patisipe nan masak Raboto a. Li deklare li te wè yon kamyon pikòp blanch avèk sòlda ladan li ki t ap kouri vit pou Raboto, epi aprè li tande te gen tire. Li deklare gen plizyè bagay nan deklarasyon li fè devan kabinè enstriksyon an ki pa vrè, epi li pa t janm di tout bagay sa yo. Konsèy akize yo di Tima pa t janm siyen deklarasyon an, kidonk li pa valab kòm prèv. Tima demanti li te di yon jounalis Haïti Liberté, "Se premye fwa mwen manyen gwo zam konsa."

  • L’interrogatoire de l’accusé Orlando Tima continue. Il nie avoir été membre du FRAPH, avoir été l’ami des soldats cantonnés aux Gonaïves, et avoir participé au massacre de Raboteau. Il déclare avoir vu un pickup blanc avec des soldats, se précipitant en direction de Raboteau. Après, il a entendu tirer. Il déclare que certaines de ses déclarations au cabinet d’instruction étaient fausses, et qu’il n’avait pas fait toutes ces déclarations. Le conseil des accusés déclare que Tima n’a jamais signé ces déclarations, donc elles ne sont pas valables comme preuve. Tima nie avoir dit à un journaliste d’Haïti Liberté « c’est la première fois que j’ai touché à une arme aussi grosse. »

  • Continued examination of defendant Orlando Tima. He denies being a member of FRAPH, being friendly with soldiers stationed in Gonaïves, being familiar with guns, or participating in the Raboteau massacre. He saw a white pickup truck filled with soldiers speeding toward Raboteau that day, and later he heard there was shooting in Raboteau. He says that various claims in his declaration before the investigating judge were false, and that he did not make those claims. Defense attorneys claim that Tima never signed the declaration, so it is invalid as evidence. He denies that he told a journalist from Haïti Liberté "That was the first time I held a big gun like that."
