How could I forget?
Wednesday Elizabeth and I went to the Fr. Kaiser Inquest at the High Court in Nairobi. Fr. Kaiser was a Mill Hill Missionary from the Minn. who was killed in Kenya 7 years ago. However the Kenyan government and the FBI said that he
committed suicide, which was
completely bogus. After 7 years and a lot of pushing by Amnesty International, Justice and Peace and more importantly local
clergy, sisters, bishops and friends the Magistrate ruled that it was murder and that it should remain and open verdict.
The news went crazy. 
The courtroom was packed and the was an overwhelming sense of joy after the Magistrate made her ruling.
This also allowed me to see the court system, its inadequacies and how things do function. It took us nearly 3 hours to find the right room and time once we arrived at the court house. It was well worth it, as the support we overwhelming and the ruling just. It took 7 years, but the anti-corruption court in Kenya made a fair ruling.
Elizabeth and I also made it into the local papers and 2 local news stations. :)
