There were 42 vacancies and he was ranked 16th.
After having received by distribution the case, one of the most important that it has been able to have in the two years that it has been dispensing justice, and without being pressured by the tension that this represents for the country, at 9:55 in the morning of Saturday, October 10, he decreed the immediate release of Uribe, who spent his days in detention at his large ranch El ubérrimo, located in Montería.
During the hearings that were held to determine the ex-president’s freedom, Judge Salcedo Duarte showed her character and great talent as a jurist. Even though they had political and legal heavyweights as protagonists and participants, who could well intimidate her, she forcefully enforced her stand and scolded those who even tried to delay the discussion.
Among those scolded were ex-attorney general Eduardo Montealegre, who, according to the judge, with ironic words, disrespected Uribe’s lawyers by calling them a “philosopher of law” and a “lawyer.” Also, with seriousness and aplomb he scolded the prosecutor Gabriel Jaimes who questioned the investigation of the Supreme Court in the case. The judge told him that this nonsense had the idea to “divert the debate and the central aspect of the decision.” He showed character and determination when acting.
Before becoming a judge and having her working life under public scrutiny due to the notorious Uribe case, she served as an auxiliary magistrate in the Superior Court of Bogotá and later as a provisional 33rd auxiliary in the Supreme Court of Justice, where she worked in the office of the magistrate Francisco Acuña. A career that can take her far.
