Despite the fact that the events were recorded on a local camera, this seems not to be enough to send the trucker straight to prison involved in the accident.
The reasons were explained in detail by the lawyer Hernando Herrera, panelist of ‘6 AM’ of Caracol Radio, who on that station gave 2 reasons the subject could be captured, but left on freedom of righ now.
First, there is the fact that the trucker’s capture was not in flagrante delicto. “He is released because his capture was not at the time and place in which the events occurred,” he explained to the lawyer on that radio frequency.
The second reason why, according to Herrera, the accused is still linked to the process, but at liberty, is that the decision was probably made not to saturate an already crowded prison system In colombia.
Herrera explained that in certain cases the judges make these decisions because the prisons simply do not have more space for people. “The prisons are congested; there are prisons with more than 54% of people higher than the total occupation”, Is the harsh reality that the jurist analyzed, in that environment.
However, Herrera indicated on the station that currently the initial decision to release the truck driver can be reviewed and if assessed the fact that he ran away, and did not voluntarily surrender, may eventually be imprisoned for the death of cyclist.
