The Supreme Court, which has been shaken by strong denunciations of alleged corruption, has capacity nor the moral right to hold the hearing on the dehydrated against former President Ricardo Martinelli food today.
Schedule the hearing, according to defense lawyers, a media strategy to divert the attention of public opinion on the crisis is being experienced by the judiciary.
So lawyers cataloged former president of the Republic Ricardo Martinelli in a press conference to highlight that sounds suspicious to reopen the case at a time when the full Supreme Court suffers "the most serious moral crisis of republican history" said Christopher Grove.
The dehydrated food process remained suspended and this hearing, the prosecutor magistrate Oyden Ortega intends to reopen the case.
This was the first record that was admitted in court against Martinelli, and this is the third time that hearing is held to give reopening this process.
"The purpose of reopening the case (dried food), rather than legal, it is political," said Rogelio Cruz, also lawyer Martinelli, analyzing the notorious conflicts which currently face the judges of the Court.
According to Cruz, the recent scandals and reduce the credibility of the Court, detract from the legitimacy to administer justice.
Meanwhile, Christopher Grove believes that the full Court is discredited and therefore is ineligible to prosecute Martinelli.
"Judges who are accused of committing other unlawful conduct some, is serious because it contravenes the requirements that must be of the position they hold," said Arboleda.
In these recent weeks, the Credentials Committee of the National Assembly have filed complaints against at least four judges of the Court.
Punctures case
Another element that has been considered by Cruz as media effect is the message that has been done on an English translation concerning the alleged arrest warrant against Martinelli in the case of wiretapping.
Judge Harry Diaz, attorney in this matter, had made an indictment not file charges, which in the opinion of lawyers Martinelli is an open violation of the principles of procedural law that governs this case.
At that time, the ex president Martinelli wrote on his Twitter account that Diaz attitude was mean to become president of the Court.
Indeed, the re-election of Jose Ayu Prado as Chief Justice was rain sparking complaints among the judges of the Court.
