Summary In late 1989, local authorities of Roche-Ã-Bateau, Haiti, arrested Belavoix Doricent, a destitute local man, for the murder of his nephew Wilfrid Doricent. Belavoix's trial would become a singular case in the annals of 20th-century jurisprudence-in Haiti or anywhere else. For the chief witness for the prosecution was none other than the victim himself, Wilfrid. The state argued that the uncommunicative, blank-faced man standing in the courtroom had been positively identified by his parents as their long-dead son, turned into a zombie by his malevolent uncle Belavoix.
