Guatemala Rios Montt genocide trial to resume in 2015 The trial of Guatemalas former military ruler Efrain Rios Montt has been scheduled to resume in January 2015, officials say. Gen Rios Montt, 87, was convicted of genocide and war crimes in May and sentenced to 80 years in jail. But the conviction was overturned by the constitutional court, which argued Rios Montt had been denied due process. A court official said that the judges were busy with other cases in 2014, but would resume the trial in January 2015. Flawed trial A lawyer for the families of victims of Gen Montts regime, Hector Reyes, said he hoped the trial could be restarted earlier. bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-24833642
