GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala (AP) - Guatemala's Supreme Court adopted a plan Friday to offer protection to 19 judges and six magistrates who have received death threats.
The announcement follows the shooting death of judge Jose Victor Bautista Orozco on Monday and an attack on prosecutor Jose Antonio Melendez Sandoval who was shot in the face Wednesday.
The plan will set up a "security unit" for the judiciary, said Luis Fernandez, a Supreme Court magistrate.
