ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

Crime in Costa Rica - Criminals let go because of "lack of evidence"?


Ok - Did I hear correctly that the “USS Carr” (a Navy boat operating as a platform for the U.S. Coast Guard) containing evidence of drugs for a court case in Costa Rica were denied the right to dock in Costa Rica - because of a filibuster in the legislature by 2 legislators??

HENCE - the trial was abandoned ("dismissed?") for lack of evidence and the suspects walked?????


They were bringing the drugs back as it was a part of a "situation" where 3 men were arrested after tossing 81 bundles of marijuana into the water as they were fleeing after being tracked by a helicopter off shore of Limon (hmmmm - why did the U.S. keep this evidence???)



So if a "alleged" criminal is "let go" - doesn't that mean the crime is not on the persons record (so if they were held again for another crime - they would have "no priors" - si??) nor on the stats for problems in the area/country??   So how MANY times can one be "let go" with no priors??

????s  ?????s  ?????s!!!!
