The editor of Diario Libre, lawyer and historian Adriano Miguel Tejada, commented that the guilty verdict has served the Dominican judicial system's best interests. While admitting that the verdict would surely be appealed not only by the defense lawyers, but also by the Office for the Prevention of Corruption (now called DPCA), the editor praised the organization and order with which the sentence was pronounced. According to Tejada, in the final analysis the most important thing is that the judicial institutions get good marks from the public and that the system proves that it works. The editor concludes that the sentence lowers the stress levels that were evident in local society, although there is a lot of interest in the authorities' failure to pursue politicians, as in the PEME case.
El Caribe newspaper carries comments by lawyer Ramon Antonio Veras (Negro) who called the verdict "a gift for impunity and a stimulus for white collar crime to continue in the country."
