Mexico City, Mexico, Apr 21, 2010 / 15:52 pm
The Supreme Court of Mexico ruled Tuesday against investigating the case of the murder of Cardinal Juan Jesus Posadas Ocampo of Guadalajara, Mexico on May 24, 1993.
The judges unanimously ruled against accepting a request by the Governor of Jalisco, Emilio Gonzalez Marquez, to carry out an investigation of the case.
Cardinal Posadas Ocampo was murdered in 1993 at the Guadalajara Airport when gunmen, armed with automatic weapons, attacked him in his car. The case has been reopened several times, however no one has been imprisoned.
While the judges lamented the murder of the cardinal, they concluded that the court should not intervene in the investigation of the crime.
