I can't say I blame
Zury Rios Montt, Efrain Rios Montt's daughter, for defending her father but I'd say that she's gone a little too far this time.
"Today it's General Rios Montt, tomorrow it'll be you, your child or relative," she said. "The degeneration of justice and the way it's applied worries me."
She added that the court was trying to try her father for his ideology, claiming courts would go after others because of their sexual orientation or race.
However, opponents of Rios Montt see his actions as an attempt to keep delaying the trial.
When your dad is accused on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity, you don't get to play the "First, they came for the Jews" card.
