RIVAS Y MANAGUA
After several days of mystery, on Tuesday was announced the end of rescheduling the trial date on which will be known whether or not condemn the Mexican-American Eric Stanley Volz, for the heinous crime of his girlfriend, Doris Ivania Jimenez Alvarado. The rescheduled date was set for nine in the morning of February 14, as the judge announced District Criminal Trial Rivas, Ivette Toruño Blanco, in an indictment that passed at 2:30 on the afternoon of Tuesday. Maybe if the circumstances were other, the Mexican-American would be thinking about where to spend Valentine's Day with amenamente who in life was his lover. Volz on that date and the name of Doris Ivania will be the focus of attention in the courts of Rivas, not just for the alleged love that existed between them, but to show whether or not Volz participated in the heinous crime that shook San Juan del Sur on November 21, 2006, when the noon hour young Doris was raped and then killed by mechanical asphyxiation, according to police investigations. In the beginning of the trial was scheduled for January 26 but was cancelled because the judge hearing, Edward Peter Palma, passed the file to the trial judge District one day before the deadline.
They are going to "technical trial"
In the indictment yesterday, the court also accepted the request made through his lawyers, Volz and Julio Martin Lopez Chamorro, who asked not to be tried by a jury, but by a judge. On the other hand, the judge also ruled Toruño Blanco in the order issued yesterday, conducting the trial in Rivas and not in Grenada or in Managua, as requested by the defense attorney Ramon Rojas, which now officially turned to the Police of this department to ensure the safety of all persons who will be present.
Background
According to Ms Mercedes Alvarado, her daughter met Eric Stanley Volz in the year 2004, "when she was working as a waitress at the restaurant Rocamar.The mother Doris Ivania said that days after her daughter began dating her suitor, they became partners, and there was a time when they both lived in the same house. Maria Elena Alvarado Spears, aunt of the victim, said that ultimately Volz sustained many discussions with her niece, he was too jealous “and he restricted how she dressed because he did not like to see her with makeup or wearing shorts." He added that jealousy of Volz increased when in the life of her niece appeared Armando Llanes, and that, according to Ms Helena, that occurred in March 2006, and according to her claims, the meeting between the two (Llanes and Jimenez) was initiated by Julio Lopez Chamorro. That is why Ms Mercedes considers that of the crime to, which her daughter was the victim, Volz, Chamorro and Armando Llanes know much, as they all knew each other, however the latter (Llanes) was released by the Public Prosecutor.
Negligence or venality?
Meanwhile, Judge Edgard Navas, a member of the Governing Council and Judiciary of the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ), revealed yesterday that the case file of the woman murdered in San Juan del Sur, has serious gaps that can lead to accountability to those responsible for the investigative process. Navas made the statements after reviewing along with other colleagues in the dossier which is processed to the Mexican-American Eric Stanley Volz (free) and the Nicaraguan, Julio Martin Lopez, for the murder of the young Doris Ivania Jimenez, and listen to the explanations the judge Edward Peter Palma. Martha Lopez, mother of the accused Julio Chamorro, alleged that after the initial hearing, a person came to the prison to offer 30 thousand dollars to her son to be responsible for the crime, which was rejected by the latter.
Palma appeared yesterday
Criminal judge Palma of Rivas, appeared yesterday before the judges of the Governing Council and Judiciary, to provide explanations for their actions in the case in question. "You can definitely conclude that responsibilities may exist in those in charge of handling the information, not having exhausted, as normally expected by law that will happen in the investigative process," said Navas. "There are major gaps and great sensitivity, serious deficiencies in the management of the research process," said Navas, after inviting the police and prosecutors Rivas in charge of the investigation to attend the CSJ next Monday to discuss together the dossier.
Gaps identified
Among the gaps mentioned why in the process there are no reports of anal and vaginal fluids that might have found on the victim, that should have been collected at the scene of the crime, then subjected to analysis and determine the possibility of participants. If there were personal injury analyzed as participants, why were not examined the nails of the victim to sample organic allowing them to determine responsibilities, but none of this is in the process, but are factors that help determine if you are making proper administration of justice in all its aspects. The executive secretary of the Public Ministry, Delia Rosales, explained that the Institute of Forensic Medicine made valuations of the victim and found no semen, but that does not mean that there has been no violation, because they found tears (torn skin). He reported that the Inspectorate of Public Prosecutions has not yet completed the investigation and expressed willingness to exchange information with the CSJ.
