Jail for Rosenberg hit men

A Guatemalan judge has convicted and sentenced eight men to prison for the 2009 killing of a prominent lawyer who accused the country's president of his murder in a video made before his death.

A United Nations investigation found that Rodrigo Rosenberg contracted the hit men who killed him.

Four of the accused men were sentenced to between 38 years and 48 years on homicide and other charges, and four other co-conspirators received eight-year sentences.

Sentences for two men were reduced to two years and 12 years in return for the suspects' co-operation with prosecutors.
