Various civic organizations once again denounced the systemic racism that prevails in Puerto Rico and that is evidenced in the fact that the victims do not get justice in their claims before the courts, that rule in favor of the harassers, all white people.
On Friday, August 18, Judge Joaquín Peña Ríos of the Carolina Court determined that Luis Espinet, a dentist who threatened to kill the young mother Chanelly Cortés with a firearm, is not guilty of such act.
Luis Espinet is the son and accomplice of Carmen García, who has racially harassed Luis Ramírez Walker, his wife Chanelly Cortés, and their family for almost four years in the Haciendas de Canóvanas sector, on the northern coast of the island. The harassment has never stopped.
