Brazilian Rancher Guilty in Nun’s Murder http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/13/world/americas/13briefs-BRAZILIANRAN_BRF.html?ref=americas

Sorry for the long title, but there was a problem copying the url into the article, so I had to put it there.

Anyway, In Brazil a rancher accused of murdering a Catholic nun has been convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison. The nun had worked for 30 years with indiginous peoples of Brazil and protecting the rainforest. The man allegedly killed the nun after she blocked him from taking land the government gave to farmers
