American missionary Laura Silsby will stand trial in Haiti on a charge of arranging irregular travel. But all other charges against her and nine fellow missionaries have been dropped. A trial date hasn't been set.
The 10 missionaries, including Jim Allen of Amarillo, were stopped January 29th, as they tried to take 33 Haitian children across the border into the Dominican Republic. They say they were trying to get the children to safety following the earthquake that flattened cities and towns in Haiti. Silsby's nine fellow missionaries were released from detention and returned to the United States weeks ago, but Silsby has remained behind bars in Haiti.
Silsby could face from six months to three years in prison if convicted.
