Perhaps a Breakthrough

to Achieve an End to the Preliminary Phase

 

 

An audience was held this morning by Judge Castrillo, the judge of the Intermediate Phase, concerning a legal matter that required the attention of all the parties.  Yet the significant nature of what occurred today has nothing to do with the reason for that meeting.

Of more significance was the fact that the Judge had before him the Habeas Corpus he received yesterday from the Constitutional Court.

We can report to you the following:

First, the Judge gave his assurance that he would promptly respond to the Habeas Corpus.  In addition, he indicated that his resolution to finally end the Intermediate Phase would be issued by Wednesday of next week, at the latest.  And finally, he gave the Defense his word that he would personally seek to obtain as early a trial date as possible.

We are pleased about these three accomplishments, although tempered by our experience.

Once the Judge of the Intermediate Phase forwards the case file, it is possible that it could take up to one month for the date of the Public Trial to even be assigned.  Therefore, as we stand on the brink of possibly achieving our immediate goal to finally bring the Intermediate Phase to its conclusion, we recognize that much more patience will be required of us to see this thing through.

Thank you.
