Fabio J. Guzmán Ariza, Managing Partner of the firm, author, and lecturer, was interviewed by the Boston Globe where he stated that Dominican law guarantees criminal suspects free defense counsel and the right to appeal their detention. “If the suspects’ cases go to trial, those will be held in open court, just as they are in the United States, he said”.
Mr. Guzmán Ariza corroborated that defendants are very protected in the country but he does not think anything will be particular challenging about it and all procedures will be followed according to the existing law, especially in a very important case like this one.
