Miami ? A Miami federal jury decided Friday that former Haitian army Col. Carl Dorelien – who once won $3.2 million in the Florida Lottery – is financially liable for the 1993 torture of a former Port-au-Prince labor leader and the 1994 death of a Haitian resident during a neighborhood massacre.

After deliberating for two hours and 15 minutes, the four women and two men jurors awarded $4.3 million to the plaintiffs – $2.5 million to former labor leader Lexiuste Cajuste and $1.8 million to Marie Jeanne Jean, the widow of Raboteau massacre victim Michel Pierre.

The verdict came at the end of a four-day civil trial stemming from a lawsuit the Center for Justice & Accountability filed on behalf of Cajuste and Jean. The trial was the latest in a string of civil actions initiated by the San Francisco human rights group against foreign-born torture suspects.
