By a brief dated October 9, 1998, the State submitted its observations on the
identification papers of Ernesto Rafael Castillo-Páez and the consequences of the fact
that the victim did not have those identification papers in his possession on the day
the events in question occurred. It also pointed out that although the voter
registration booklet had been issued on July 14, 1986, "it does not show any record
of the individual having voted in the municipal and general elections" held,
respectively, in 1989 and 1990, so that Castillo-Páez had not exercised his political
rights.

In a brief from the State dated October 26, 1998, a registration record was
received for Ernesto Rafael Castillo-Páez, issued by the Chief of the Records Unit of
the National Registry of Identification and Vital Statistics and a "certification issued
by the Office of Remunerations and Benefits of the Office of Personnel of the Ministry
of the Interior" regarding the salary that a sociologist at that agency receives.
