Along with the appeal, they delivered a compact disc with four videos of the events that occurred on March 13.
The lawyers of the transport businessman, Catalino Miranda, presented an appeal this Monday at noon before the Tenth Court of Peace of San Salvador, which last Friday resolved send him to preventive detention for the crime of public disorder.
Together with the appeal, the lawyers affirmed that they had delivered several videos that will show that the crime of public disorder never existed, for which Miranda was sent to prison.
Rolando Aparicio, one of the defenders, added that for the crime of public disorder to be established, there must be two or more people involved in such disorder, but apart from Miranda there is no other person detained for the same. “He is an atypical figure,” said the lawyer.
Aparicio added that a compact disc containing four videos about the events that occurred the day Miranda was captured has been presented as an annex to the appeal.
They did not want to see the videos
The lawyer said that on the day of the hearing, Miranda’s defense and him as the defendant asked to see the videos that would have provided sufficient evidence that there were no such disorders.
However, Aparicio said that the Prosecutor’s Office opposed the request of the defense and the accused, and that the judge had seen fit not to see the images.
“Just by watching the videos, it can be seen that there are not all the criminal attributions that are intended to be attributed to Mr. Catalino Miranda and the participation in them; In that order of ideas, the videos should make it clear what really happened… In the videos, no one else appears with Mr. Catalino Miranda other than Commissioner García Funes and other officers of the National Civil Police, whom he accompanies without any type of resistance, without any type of disorder…”, Aparicio pointed out.
