Francisco Franco. The crimes were covered by a 1977 amnesty.He does not face jail time but if convicted Garzon could be removed from the bench for 10 to 20 years. A conviction would effectively end Garzon's career as a judge, his attorney has said.

By late Friday, 1.5 million people had reserved their three-to-five-minute chance to gaze at the cloth, which is kept in a bulletproof, climate-controlled case. Organizers said earlier this year they hoped some 2 million pilgrims and tourists would see the linen during the special viewing from April 10 to May 23. (AP Photo/Luca Bruno)AP - The Shroud of Turin went on public display Saturday for the first time in 10 years, drawing long lines of people to see the linen some believe is Christ's burial cloth and others dismiss as a medieval fake.
