NEW YORK (AP) - A former paramilitary leader wanted in Haiti on murder and torture charges insisted Monday that he has become a scapegoat for atrocities in the Caribbean nation and would be killed if he were forced to return.
"If I ever touch Haiti, I will be executed at the airport," Emmanuel "Toto" Constant said in a rambling, emotional plea to a judge overseeing his mortgage fraud case in state Supreme Court.
The dire warning was a switch from last week, when Constant, 50, told the judge he did not fear going back because he had done nothing wrong.
