On May 10th, 2022, ex-President Juan Orlando Hernández (JOH) faced U.S. Judge Kevin Castel. Since his extradition from Honduras, JOH’s family has launched a PR strategy claiming that he will return (#volvera). His defense team is also proposing an odd defense, which includes hiring a private detective and claiming they will call high-level U.S. officials to testify in JOH’s trial. Hear an interview by the defense team after the May 10th hearing and the bizarre defense they are proposing.
