You gotta be kidding me.

Boy's got some tight connections, that's for sure.

Still waters run deep....

There was enough hard evidence to get the extradition orders from Mexico yet not enough evidence to keep him in prison ....something has to be very wrong here .

What's wrong is that our inept justice system has prevailed once again.

Now why would you Dominicans 'reel' by this revelation.

Dominicans are pathologically corrupt.

Although this mans corruption is the most extreme it is that this man has no morals or integrity, just like the 100% of all the other Dominican corruption.

Grow up.

That's crazy. Who grants bail to killers like them?

I guess crime does pay.......in the DR.

Still is it any wonder why Dominicans take the Law into their own hands.

The DR well on its way to becoming the next new Mexico minus the mass killings......YET !

GOD save the DR.

Judge Jose Rosario Hernandez needs to wake up in his bed one morning with the head of his favorite pet/horse next to him. Perhaps he will then know who he is playing with. I may be jumping to conclusions, but it is obvious to me the Judge somehow was the beneficiary of a nice sum of cold hard cash. Guys like him (the judge) are hurting the Dominican people and must be seperated from society. Gmiller is correct, most of these fat cats are pathologically corrupt, and truely see nothing wrong in what they do. God help the DR! Investors beware putting money into a country where there are "NO RULES/LAWS". Too risky for me.

There is going to be a point that public works project will no longer keep the sheeple where they can be sheered. This is going to be a flock of rabid sheep soon and the wolves will find them selves not very happy.

Bail is mandatory as he only "wacked" 36 and counting...... In DR you need to wack over 100 not to get bail, unless you are broke and then YOU are "wacked" for not being able to "grease" the judges. LOL.
Oh Oh, I better be quiet he might be looking over my shoulder right now!

that picture with this guy wearing that tight shirt , makes you wonder maybey hecame out the closet before he went to jail

More corruption. How could they allow him to be extradited but not enough evidence to keep him in jail? This all stinks like a smelly fish on a hot day. The judge who allowed this is transparently corrupt and should be removed. The problem is our leadership from the top (LF) down is also corrupt since they sit around looking the other way and do nothing about such obvious crimes. What kind of example do our leaders set for our youth and to the rest of the world. I really want to vomit after I read the news sometimes. A bunch of friends get together every week for a nice lunch and these are the topics of conversation which come up all the time. Myself being the only Dominican female of course am always embarrassed by my country. Not much to be proud of with our current leadership. Wilton you need to step up and serve your country!

Miami/Santiago,
Absolutely unreal! This incopetent fv($!&g judge has no shame or a single ounce of moral value.

Wow I thought they would not be granted bail... Only in DR. Now he will be gone

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Bagmannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Thank you$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The Judge is the real criminal here! No one of his right mind would release upon society someone with such a rap sheet. Throw the judge in Jail, but who am I kidding. Nothing will happen.

The man should write a book

"How to Get Away with Murders."

Well!
This is called island justice.

Semper #@^% Fidelis.................................

Here lie the biggest problem facing Hispagnola a corrupt justice system. This remind me of a few years ago when the Haitian Police chief Mr Andresol went head on against the Haitian justice system. At the time we were facing a major kidnaping crisis in Haiti feeling outrage, the police chief went to the press and demanded certain judges to be removed from the bench ,because the police would do it's job find the peps and lock them up. Only for them to be release by a judge who was bribed and these guys will go right back to business as usually kidnapping extorting and killing people.

PS 36 bodies under his belt, an extradition that had to meet foreign scrutny and this guy is released?

Unbelievable! Who would have thought.... a corrupt judge in the DR.

gmiller..you go too far in saying all Dominicans are pathologically corrupt simply because of the faults in the legal system and in the government ..the correlation simply is not there and there are wonderful Dominicans living here.
Veronica , I am sure you can not show any link between the President and this case so again you are going too far . Maybe if you asked why there was no appeal from the prosecutors I would have agreed .
I and no one else here knows why the judge made that decision , which ,on face value, looks horrible but I would suggest that he may have been weak and not entirely feeling sure of his own security .
There is an election here very soon and yet which candidate has a platform of zero tolerance for crime or corruption , which party is advocating a change in the way this country is policed. If there were strong party leaders , if there were solid candidates , there may be a chance but I have seen neither .

F5cking incredible! what other country in the world do such a thing!! DR is a lost case!

the dr well on its way to becoming the next new mexico minus the mass killings,,

not true about the mass killings u forget the 7 that where killed over the drugs?
in fact more murders are commited in the dr then in mexico.
i wrote about this a few weeks ago.
u forget mexico is a very large country with 100 million people
per 100 people more are killed in the dr as it stands now and its going to get worst. the killings in mexico are only in certain border towns.not all of mexico yes its still very bad but the dr. is on the same path as mexico and other drug infested countries.

u say
a corrupt judge in the dr,
what kind of judge.
some jerk that had some friends in the government. judge u must ke joeking

judge hes a nightmare not a judge that is one to protect the people.

There isnt hard evidence on even one of 36 murders?? That sounds unbelievable to me.

Ricardolito I pass blame for our corruption problems from the top down. All the facts are in front of our faces. In a non corrupt legal system in this case the suspect would be back in jail and judge would no longer be a judge.

It is painfully obvious how few Dominicans in our political system are not corrupt. Our President's lack of effort in this area shows where he stands.

It is situations like this that lead to coups. Either extreme Populist or extreme Nationalist but this extreme corruption will cause an extreme response. Something has to give.

unbelieveable!

OMG he kinda looks like Will Smith!!! But with bigger ears. Dun dun dun dun.

Veronica , this single piece of news has frightened me more than anything , even though all my gringo friends here have told me it is impossible to get justice if you are not Dominican and have given me hundreds of actual examples of judicial mal practice . But this is the worst case that I have heard of .
Under law , the President cannot get involved in a case and direct judges ,so he can not be blamed here. However, I am sure the time has come for him to be stronger against corruption as this appears to be his weak point . But ,how can he do it ?? We have corrupt police, corrupt navy , corrupt officials in customs and in the legal offices and it would be very difficult to trust anyone .
I have suggested that the country engage an outside body to clean the corruption mess up ..it may be the only way .

Ricardolito I applaud your post and agree with your view of this being extremely difficult. Our President is our top leader and must stand proud against these types of things in the public on a daily basis not looking the other way and not saying anything. This is the only way the proper changes will occur. He must make the phone calls and be very publicly spoken against the specific people he knows are corrupt. He must use his power to influence the rest of our officials to rid us of these people and even risk his job by forcing the arrest and firing of these individuals. In the end he would have the voice of the people behind him. The ones who can keep him elected and would want him to keep his job if we all saw these things taking place. Right now they are not. I feel someone like Wilton would take the bull by the horns and do these things. This is why we need him as our next President.

This is just great!! He will go kill some more while out on bond

MissHaiti,
LOL Careful those ears could be used as deadly weapons....then use those ears to flap......I mean fly away like dumbo.

Now on a more serous note.......KILLER ON THE LOSE .

Oh yeah I forgot about that part. K then why the hell did they let this dushebag out? Someone else is going to die. I just have that feeling.

MissHaiti,
Sorry I don't have the answer on that one, but I'm sure many are thinking who's the bigger doushebag the judge who released him of the killer himself.

Next possible murder victim...........GOD I hope not.

in santiago the police have a police oficer that take care of this problem right away ( la soga).
sometime when the systen does not work ( la soga is there )
