Kathy E <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: A Mexican judge on Tuesday once again freed a man accused of killing John Peter Zarate, a 40-year-old US real estate executive murdered in a taxicab holdup. Judge Vicente Hernandez "found no evidence" to uphold an arrest warrant against Alfonso Gonzalez Sanchez, known as "El Chuky," and ordered him freed unconditionally. Gonzalez Sanchez and three accomplices were arrested two weeks after the robbery but were freed by a judge who described him as a "modern Robin Hood," angering the United States and Mexicans fed up with crime. Judge Claudia Campuzano freed them for lack of evidence although they had confessed to the killing on December 15, 1997. A higher court later upheld her ruling but she was suspended for three months and replaced by Hernandez. Gonzalez Sanchez was re-arrested on February 10 and charged with robbery. Although the murder charges were dropped, Gonzalez Sanchez is unlikely to be freed as he still faces robbery charges. -- Kathy E "I can only please one person a day, today is NOT your day, and tomorrow isn't looking too good for you either" http://members.delphi.com/kathylaw/ Law & Issues Mailing List http://pw1.netcom.com/~kathye/rodeo.html - Cowboy Histories http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/2990/law.htm Crime photo's Subscribe/Unsubscribe, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the body of the message enter: subscribe/unsubscribe law-issues
