A court in Santiago has released the man accused of stabbing his former girlfriend Gleiry Maria Munoz to death. Pedro Luis Baez Sanchez, 48, was released on bail by Judge Gabriel Marchena who ordered the bail bond, despite strong opposition to the measure by Santiago District Attorney Yenni Berenice Reynoso. Neither the frank opposition by the DA or the public outcry was enough to stop the process. The demonstrations led to the Palace of Justice in Santiago being militarized in order to maintain peace, according to Hoy. Several women's groups have sought legal representation in the case, including the Women's Support Nucleus, represented by jurist Maria Alejandra Veras Pola.
After hearing the news of the killer's release on bail, the victim's mother Maria Cristina Gomez broke down, according to a report in Listin Diario. The news of the release also provoked a dire warning from family members. One of them told reporters that if the justice system did not punish the killer to the full extent of the law, "then the family will have to do it with their own hands."
