After a public uproar, Santiago District Attorney Yenni Berenice Reynoso decided to disobey a sentence that ordered 47-year old Pedro Luis Baez Sanchez to be freed upon paying RD$150,000 of a RD$1.5 million bail. He is accused of stabbing his lover, 26-year old Gleydi Maria Munoz Gomez to death in Santiago last Thursday. Both Baez and Munoz were married to other spouses.
The woman was accompanied by her three children, which were in another room in the motel El Palmar at the time of the stabbing. The contempt of court by the District Attorney follows protests by local women's groups in response to the judges's decision, which favored the defendant. Reynoso told Diario Libre that she is aware that her position is in violation of the law, but she argued that her decision is also due to the fact that she has another process against Baez Sanchez. She said that she has in her hands a complaint filed by the victim's husband accusing Baez Sanchez of death threats.
The District Attorney said that in the next few hours she would appeal the sentence issued by Judge Gabriel Marchena Adames.
Judge Marchena Adames set a RD$1.5 million bail bond for Baez Sanchez.
