MEXICO CITY (AP) — A judge has ruled that Mexico’s former attorney general who oversaw the original investigation into the 2014 disappearances of 43 students from a radical teachers college will go to trial on charges of forced disappearance, torture and official misconduct. Former Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam conceded there may have been “errors” in the investigation, but that in the eight years since no one has been able to prove another version of what happened on Sept. 26, 2014 in Iguala, Guerrero. Murillo Karam, 74, served as attorney general from 2012 to 2015. He was arrested by agents of the office he used to lead last week.
