Cabarete shooting of US citizen....
- Status
Apparently, and according only to what I had read on DR1 in a previous thread, the taxi driver was not arrested.
The person who was shot chose not to file charges. He was concerned that the taxi driver was too well-connected to the police and had a long history of literally getting away with murder.

Thank you SKY for the update, I know Gary, from the complexe where he lived and I do hope he will be ok.
I still do not understand why he would need to file charges for a shooting...would it not be an automatic arrest if you discharge your firearm at someone????? It does concern me very much that this Taxi driver is out there, apparently having done this a coupe of times before.....

You forgot something, did you not??
no complaint, no victim = no crime IN THE D.R.
If it's your neighbor, you live in a corrupt society and an outsider, then maybe you'll think twice. This isn't Kansas....
Used to be that way in many parts of the world, esp. the american south and poor areas. Still is a problem in too many places to list.
aranoid:
DR law is dramatically different in many ways from US law. Unless there is a complaint filed, the police will do nothing.
In this country, it is wise that when filing any complaint in Court, that you are prepared to handle things "out of court" as well.
There seems to be a lot of speculation and rumors flying around. I don't see a reason to keep this open any longer. Closed.
