13 Finally, the expert stated that Mr. Fermín Ramírez must receive a brief but consistent psychotherapy and, for his psychosocial recovery, it is fundamental that he be transferred to another detention center. Referring to Mr. Ramírez’s next of kin, the expert considered that they should receive immediate and consistent psychosocial support in order to avoid further emotional disturbances. Despite the fact that Mrs. Sis “does not want to know anything” about Mr. Ramírez and much less be subject to publicity, she must also receive psychosocial support “in order to obtain from it certain support and impartiality in what refers to the children’s contact with their father.” e) Expert report of Mr. Alberto Martín Binder, specialist in Criminal Law The expert witness referred to the Guatemalan criminal procedure, specifically to the changes of the facts attributable and their legal classification. Likewise, he analyzed the principle of consistency, and on the other hand, referred to the dangerousness, by stating that it is a discernment about the future and, therefore, it escapes the logics of the process of a hearing that in all aspects demands evidence of the facts over which a decision will be made. Mr. Binder stated that in a process where the death penalty may be imposed the State is obliged to maximize the conditions of demandability of the truth of the facts that serve as a foundation for that sentence. He also made an analysis of the specific case of Mr. Fermín Ramírez where he pointed out the irregularities in which, in his opinion, the judicial authorities incurred. f) Expert report of Mr. Eduardo Montealegre Lynett, specialist in Criminal Law The expert witness referred to the right to a defense and other judicial rights in the criminal process, especially those processes for crimes where the applicable sanction is the death penalty. Likewise, he made reference to the principle of consistency, which demands a provision under which the identity between the indictment and the judgment is maintained. Mr. Eduardo Montealegre Lynett analyzed the case of Mr. Fermín Ramírez and pointed out the irregularities in which, in his opinion, the judicial authorities had incurred. B) Evidence Assessment 48. In this case, as in others,6 the Tribunal admits the probative value of the documents presented in a timely fashion by the parties, that were not disputed or objected, and whose authenticity was not questioned. 6 Cfr.
