Nuevo Diario Newspaper Jan 26th, 2007

A crime "dolarized"
An offer of 30 thousand dollars in return to be responsible for the heinous crime of murdering Doris Ivania Jimenez came to him in the cells of the Penitentiary System of Grenada. Julio Martin Lopez Chamorro, who at the moment is the only one that stays in prison for the abominable crime, which also appears involving the Mexican-American Eric Stanley Volz.
Such an offer was announced yesterday by Nuevo Diario, Ms Marta Enriquez, mother of Julio Lopez Chamorro, who in San Juan del Sur is known by the alias of "Rosita." According to the lady, her son received someone days after the initial hearing in which he and Volz were referred to trial for the crime.
"During his visit this person offered my son 30 thousand dollars provided he is made responsible for the crime," she said. But according to her, he consulted the proposal "and I told him to never accept this, that it could not be, as a mother and I am not going to accept it either because he has not done anything," she explained.
"If the gringo is released, my son also"
In the view of Ms Marta, if Volz gets his freedom, her child also gets a free, and argues that he is innocent, "because the day of the crime Doris Ivania, which was November 21 at noon hour, he (her son) walked from 10:30 in the morning to serve as a translator to a foreigner walking into a clinic, and then went to lunch, "she elaborated.
It is for ensuring that you have faith that your son was not involved in the crime, although police and the public prosecutor indicated that he and Volz were the authors of the murder and rape of the victim Doris Ivania.
At the same time, she pointed out that her son made friends with Volz on the beaches, and according to her, they can accuse him of being a bum and drug addict, but not a criminal. she said that being poor can not convict him for a crime he did not commit , and according to her, the day of judgement will declare what he knows.
Judge and prosecutors will be investigated
Meanwhile, Judge Edward Peter Palma and four prosecutors have to "sit on the bench," because the Supreme Court cited the first to give his version on the case of Eric Stanley Volz, while the other must explain before The Inspectorate of Public Prosecutions, whether it was true or not receiving bribes next to the judicial inquiry into the case of former police Román Jose Lopez.
Judge Edgard Navas, a member of the Governing Council and Judiciary of the Supreme Court, said yesterday afternoon that although they have not made a final decision on Palma, the board will meet on Friday to possibly be the judge in this Monday persone Court, and that records on hand lend its version.
Navas pointed out that the Judicial Inspectorate sent them yesterday afternoon the report of the investigation conducted in the trial record that follows Eric Stanley Volz, "but I see it very insufficient", which could be amplified.
Palma again this Thursday went to the "eye of the hurricane," because the relatives of Joseph Roman Lopez claimed that they gave him 3000 dollars for which it had released trial for drug trafficking, but he apparently did not comply and did not return the money.
The serious complaint also wrapped a prosecutor who would have received a "bribe" of $500, so that just yesterday the executive secretary of the Public Ministry, Delia Rosales, confirmed that the Inspectorate of Public Prosecutions proceeded to open an investigation into the four prosecutors that took participation in the process.
The prosecutor was appointed to investigate Dr. Blanca Salgado, who on Monday will move to Rivas to inspect records and court prosecutor in the case.

End of article. Palma was the first judge who was accused of accepting a bribe for releasing Volz on his own recognizance but keeping Chamorro, the other defendant, in jail.
I have included two comments from readers that I thought were funny.

el mas chingon (the most helpful)
To kill all the corrupt in Nicaragua who be 99.9% of the population.
CHICO CHE (boy che)
It’s not bad this offer, how can I make contact with the person who made it, I would run for $ 1000 the year (if they applied the maximum penalty ).... With such notes I would solve a lot of problems that I have and I it would make good business, assuring the future of my family .... I would sacrifice.

Curios bout everything said...

I saw an investigative report on cable about this case. This is a tragic story, but however tragic the death of this young woman, It seems obvious that the evidence in the case cleary shows that Eric Voltz has an alliby proven by 10 witness that he was in Managua. There is alot of corruption by the officials and the actual perpatrators if the crime. It seems obvious as the outsider Eric Voltz is being scapegoated. The murdurers are the 2 men who were originally put into custidy with Eric Voltz. They are the ones who had actual scratches that were consistant with the details of the crime. Not like Eric Voltz who had brused lines on his shoulder that were consistant with the weight of the victims casket at her funeral, which he was asked by family members to carry. It's so clear even for the average person to see Eric Volzt did not commit the murder of his beautiful girlfriend Doris Jimenez. I pray the truth be found beyond a shadow of doubt so that both families may have peace and justice.

Yes agreed, it seemed everyone was plotting against him, even the car rental place stated they never saw him yet his signature is on the contract? They should be ashamed of themselves, they do not care about this young woman or justice for her, just to get a name for themselves!
