Former U.S. Navy Capt. Ray E. Davis was charged in the deaths of journalist Charles Horman and student Frank Teruggi.[1] The court statement said Chilean army Brigadier Pedro Espinoza Bravo was also charged in the murders.[2] The Chilean Supreme Court has the last word in the case and it must soon decide if it approves the extradition request.
