A statement from the court said that after the discussion and voting , it was decided that Judge Abel Zamorano would assume thehe rapateur role because the draft decision of Judge Luis Ramon Fabrega was not approved by the majority.
Judicial sources said that the two Fábrega decisions revoked the preventive detention of Garuz and Perez and gave them both injunctive country jail and attending the Deputy Attorney General to sign every 15 days.
The judges Abel Zamorano, Harley Mitchell, Oyden Ortega and Jerome Mejia commented against the suggestion. After discussion, the projects were put to the vote.
According to sources, Zamorano, Mejia, Mitchell, Ortega, Victor Benavides and Hernán de León voted against Fábrega’s draft. Only Judge Harry Diaz just voted in favor.

Because of this decision, Garuz and Perez will continue in La Gran Joya.
