Garcia, a lawsuit by the families of four Maryknoll Sisters of St. Dominic, who were murdered by a Salvadoran military death squad on December 2, 1980. Garcia’s defense won the case, and the families appealed. Their appeal was denied, and in 2003, the United States Supreme Court refused to hear further proceedings. Ramagoza v. Garcia, a lawsuit filed by the Center for Justice and Accountability on behalf survivors of torture during the Salvadoran Civil War. Garcia lost, and a judgment of over $54 million was entered against him and his co-defendant, and upheld on appeal
