The same judge who accepted bail for Jimmy Oliver Rodriguez Ortiz, arrested on 15 September in possession of 50 kilos of cocaine, ordered the start of a case against a man arrested with 9.66 grams of drugs, as reported in Hoy. Francis Hernandez, a 26-year old mechanic, was arrested in possession of 4.62 grams of cocaine, 2.93 of crack and 2.11 of marijuana in Cristo Rey, which puts him in the category of drug distributor. Nonetheless, Judge Gonzalez treated the case as if he were a narcotics dealer, in contrast with the case of the man found with 50 kilos of cocaine. Hoy reported that the marked difference in the way Judge Gonzalez Castillo acted in both cases attracted the attention of people who monitor court cases. Rodriguez Ortiz is a former army private who was arrested in the National District. District Attorney Alejandro Moscoso Segarra said that in 2008 the judge issued a similar order to benefit two others caught trafficking drugs. Rosado Mateo said that this type of decision endangers the lives of the people who pursue drug traffickers. Both the National Drug Control Department and state prosecutors have asked the Supreme Court to conduct an investigation into Judge Franny Manuel Gonzalez Castillo's decision regarding Rodriguez Ortiz.
