I do not know the law here but how can you be not guilty and not immediately release? Is there more to this verdict?I’m very sorry to report that the verdict was not guilty for all 4. They will be released early January
Speak for yourself Seamonkey . Jumping the fence always brings potential dangers to a marriage whether it is the fence of race,colour ,education or religion and those about to jump should be aware of the potential difficulties. This case is a tragic reminder. However I think your main point is whether foreigners who have moved here should continue to support the RD when we are confronted by relentless corruption in many aspects of life. As non Dominicans we are restricted by law from direct action and it is very difficult to assist in a positive way. I think the best way is through education by financially supporting children to go to good schools or universities or to put up a case for reform whenever possible.Very disappointing. Yet, us gringos will sit back and do nothing and let it happen to another one of us. Our voices will be silent, and we will continue to give money to help this country.....or marry a sankey or chapiadora. We tolerate it, that is the problem.
One of our teachers had her husband murdered. Despite all her efforts the guy, who was found guilty due to the 50 or so witnesses, was released after 6.5 years.Speak for yourself Seamonkey .

In the many years that I have lived here I have seen murderers and other criminals escape justice ,even in the last year there have been two high profile cases in the East where the murders of Americans have not resulted in a conviction. The case of Lindsay de Feliz is now one more. Reform is needed in so many aspects of life here so do not just sit back but ,within the boundaries of the law, try to make changes for the better.

Yes. Things seem to work when it comes to real estate and tourism etc as if there is a rule of law. But that’s just because it’s such an important industry to the DR. Only money matters in the DR.Very disappointing. Yet, us gringos will sit back and do nothing and let it happen to another one of us.

I don't understand! There seemed to be so much evidence! They didn't tie up their loose ends at all. They were too stupid!I suspected as much. The physical evidence just wasn't there, and a conviction with circumstantial evidence is a tough sell here.
