Santo Domingo.- National District Appellate Court judge Daniel Nolasco on said Sunday the previous Supreme Court’s 14 year term was marked by "influence peddling" and "lobbying" in the promotion of judges.

 During his speech to celebrate his promotion to the bench, Nolasco thanked the Judiciary Council (CPJ) for taking into account his 20 years in the courts system.

 "We congratulate everyone one of the judges promoted day because it was on the merit of the exercise in our institution, without having to avail ourselves of the professed friendship toward other justices of the Supreme Court, without resorting to lobbying or influence peddling, issues that were very proper in a not so remote past."

He also criticized that in the past judges were promoted by "discretion" regardless of the merits of the judicial echelon.

I take all that with a grain of salt because the corrupt administration in the judicial system starts with the lower courts and goes to the top ..as Daniel Nolasco has spent 20 years in the lower courts , he must form part of the corrupt processes ..
Linked with the incompetence of the courts must be the total inefficiency of the Prosecutors office which leads to so many mistrials

more cut and paste from an unhealthy source ,,maybe you could have told us that their passports were taken from them and why they are to have a retrial ..my guess is that there was too much political interference in the original trial
