A supporter of former Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide, kisses a coffee mug with Aristides' photo outside the main couthouse May 8, 2013 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti where Aristide spent three giving testimony as a witness in the unsolved assassination of journalist Jean Léopold Dominique. Aristide is the latest person to be summoned by Haitian Investigative Judge Yvickel Dabresil, who has been trying to determine the “intellectual author” behind the assassination of Dominique and a guard. Both were gunned down 13 years ago in the courtyard of Dominique’s Radio Haiti-Inter in Port-au-Prince.
