Lazaro Baez on the verge of being set free.

[Alpinista]

Baez has not been convicted of anything. It is a basic tenet of law that a person is entitled to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.

Baez has spent three years of "preventative detention" in prison. It is also a basic tenet of law that justice delayed is justice denied.

Now he has not been set free. He has been released to home arrest, with a GPS tracker locked around his ankle.

I understand that you gentlemen are strongly anti-K, and you are certainly entitled to your opinions. But basic respect for due process of law, and basic considerations of humane behaviour, must come before personal desire for political retribution. Think about the importance of precedent in law, and remember that if the rules are bent to convict a criminal today, those precedents may be used to convict an innocent man tomorrow.

- if you have the patience to read through it. As is always the case with Argentine journalism, especially on the Left, it's incredibly long-winded, but it does deal with most aspects of the case. The whole issue is incredibly tangled, and I doubt we will ever know the truth. Basically it's more of the lawfare which is the primary tool of Operation Condor II, whether here, or in Brazil, or in Ecuador, or wherever. Populist governments are under attack all across Latin America.

Lazaro has served 5 years already, so with the 2x1 and good conduct may be home soon? and those convicted to less than 5 years may go home now?

Macri is just a tool, one of "los de adentro que nos quieren vender" referred to in that quote from Hipólito Yrigoyen. And this whole thing is much bigger than just Argentina.
