Sobeida Felix Morel, who has one year and one month to serve of her five-year sentence in Najayo Women’s jail in San Cristobal, has returned to court in an attempt to gain her conditional release. This is her fourth request.
Sobeida argued that her children would be returning from overseas and she wanted to be free to be with them. The judge set the date of June 4 to hear her case.
Her previous appeals have been denied as it was said that she had not yet compensated for the damage she had caused to society.
Felix Morel was jailed for her complicity with drug capo Jose Figueroa Agosto, who is serving a jail sentence in his native Puerto Rico.
