Haiti Assassination Case

The Miami federal trial of four men accused in the July 7, 2021, assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse opened with widow Martine Moïse testifying that she awoke to gunfire, heard her husband say “Honey, we are dead,” was shot multiple times as attackers speaking Spanish stormed their bedroom, and then heard her husband shot repeatedly and killed. She said she later learned the security detail had allegedly been paid to abandon their posts, acknowledged a prior Haitian indictment against her that was later annulled, and, while saying those behind the killing now hold power and want her back, maintained under cross‑examination that her courtroom account is accurate despite defense questions about inconsistencies with FBI interview reports.
