A trial connected to the assassination of Haiti’s President Jovenel Moïse resumes in Miami as Haitian-American pastor Christian Emmanuel Sanon goes before a federal jury. Multiple outlets report the case begins again in the U.S. on 28 September 2026 in federal court for the Southern District of Florida, with Judge Jacqueline Becerra presiding.
Sanon, 67, is described as denying wrongdoing. Reports say he rejects accusations that he plotted to kill Moïse. One outlet frames the proceeding as resuming with the case in front of a Miami jury, while another notes the trial is underway in federal court.
Across the coverage, the shared focus is the start or continuation of the federal trial in Miami tied to Moïse’s killing, and Sanon’s role as a defendant who contests the allegation that he was part of a plot against the Haitian president. The reports differ mainly in emphasis, with one highlighting the jury-facing resumption and the other emphasizing the trial opening in federal court.
