MIAMI — For the first time since their names grabbed headlines worldwide 18 months ago, three Haitian Americans suspected in the assassination plot that left Haitian President Jovenel Moise dead trudged into Court Room 10 in downtown Miami Wednesday — wearing beige jumpsuits and face masks, shackled at the wrists and ankles. 

Tears appeared in the eyes of one relative as Christian Emmanuel Sanon, 64, James Solages, 37, and Joseph Vincent, 57, all Haitian Americans, and Alejandro Rivera Garcia, a Colombian, entered for their initial federal court hearing at C. Clyde Atkins U.S. Courthouse.
