Rechaza Jueza Lenard moción de René sobre regreso a Cuba
Denied by the Judge Lenard Rene’s motion on his return to Cuba
In the motion Rene sought to modify the conditions of his supervised release such that he be permitted to travel to and reside in Cuba, rather than serve his term (3 years) of supervised release in the United States after his release of prison next October 7.
Rechaza Jueza Lenard moción de René sobre regreso a Cuba
El 16 de septiembre de 2011 la Jueza Joan A. Lenard, del Distrito Sur de la Florida, rechazó la Moción para Modificar las Condiciones de la Libertad Supervisada presentada por René González el 16 de febrero de 2011. El 7 de marzo el Gobierno había presentado su respuesta oponiéndose a la misma, a la cual la defensa respondió el 25 de marzo de 2011.
En la moción René solicitó modificar las condiciones de su libertad supervisada de forma tal que se le permitiera viajar a y residir en Cuba, en lugar de cumplir los tres años de libertad supervisada en Estados Unidos después de salir de prisión el próximo 7 de octubre.
La Jueza consideró que la moción de René es prematura porque el período de libertad supervisada no comienza hasta tanto el individuo salga de prisión y se necesita que pase cierto tiempo antes que la Corte sea capaz de evaluar de forma apropiada las características del acusado.
René fue sentenciado a 15 años de prisión más tres años de libertad supervisada que incluye condiciones especiales que le prohíben “acercarse a o visitar lugares específicos donde se sabe que están o frecuentan individuos o grupos terroristas,” lo cual es reiterado en la decisión de la Jueza.
¿Qué sucederá entonces a partir del 7 de octubre? ¿Irán los agentes del FBI a capturar a los terroristas en los lugares donde ellos “saben que están o frecuentan”? ¿O se dedicarán a vigilar a René para asegurarse que él no moleste a los terroristas?
This 16th day of September, 2011, Joan A. Lenard, US District Judge denied Rene Gonzalez’s Motion to Modify Conditions of Supervised Release (“Motion,” D.E. 1808), filed on February 16, 2011. On March 7, 2011, the Government filed its response in opposition (“Response,” D.E. 1814), to which Defendant filed his reply (“Reply,” D.E. 1817), on March 25, 2011.
In the motion Rene sought to modify the conditions of his supervised release such that he be permitted to travel to and reside in Cuba, rather than serve his term (3 years) of supervised release in the United States after his release of prison next October 7.
The Judge found that Defendant’s Motion is premature because a term of supervised release does not commence until an individual is “released from imprisonment”, and some amount of time on supervised release needs to pass before the Court is able to properly evaluate the characteristics of the defendant once he or she has been released from prison.
Rene was sentenced to 15 years in prison plus a three-year term of supervised release which includes a certain special condition prohibiting him “from associating with or visiting specific places where individuals or groups such as terrorists, members of organizations advocating violence, organized crime figures are known to be or frequent,” which is reiterated in the Judge’s decision.
What will happen then from October 7? Will the FBI agents arrest the terrorists in the places where they know “they are or frequent”? Or will theydevote to watch Rene to guarantee that he does not bother the terrorists?
