'Aunt Jemima' cartoon raises ire
Friday, December 4
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Dec. 29 (UPI) -- Puerto Rico's governor, indicted on corruption charges, posted a video on the popular social networking site Facebook admitting to making mistakes.
During the four-minute video, Gov. Anibal Acevedo Vila apologized to Puerto Ricans saying he "committed errors."
However, he did not address specific charges against him or admit to any criminal wrongdoing, according to the video posted Sunday.
A federal indictment handed down earlier this year accused the Puerto Rican governor of conspiracy to violate federal campaign laws and lying to the FBI, among other charges.
Acevedo, who was voted out of office last month, faces trial in February.
