The Martinelli dance halted

 The decision to call former President Ricardo Martinelli to a new trial in the case of the “punctures” – including a new court – is a hopeful light, thanks to a ruling issued yesterday by the Superior Court of Appeals. The magistrates have bravely faced the judicial outburst of first instance, in order to correct the obvious errors of some judges who, far from doing justice, what they did was an act of complacency, in the least of the cases. One only has to remember all the evidence and key witnesses of the accusers who were rejected by judges Roberto Tejeira, Arlene Caballero and Raúl Vergara, authors of that questioned ruling that declared the accused not guilty. And this time, we hope that the trial is not the shameful spectacle that was staged before and after the process was transferred to ordinary justice. Part of that circus included – as we all know – the defendant’s peripatetic visits to the emergency rooms, medical certificates and all those maneuvers that impeded the flow of the process. The whole country is witness to the remarkable good health of the great dancer that Mr. Ricardo Martinelli has proven to be. .LA  PRENSA, NOV.21
