Former Haiti dictator to receive judge's ruling (AP)

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti ? A Haitian judge says he has finished his investigation of former dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier but is not ready to publicly reveal his conclusion.

Magistrate Carves Jean says he must still notify the former leader known as "Baby Doc" of the results of his yearlong investigation into whether Duvalier can face trial on charges dating back to his 15-year rule in the 1970s and 1980s.

Jean's ruling must also be reviewed by the country's attorney general before it becomes public. He spoke to reporters outside court Monday.

Duvalier is accused of corruption and human rights violations before he was ousted in a popular uprising and forced into exile. His lawyers have argued that the statute of limitations has expired.
