Upon being transferred to the detention center, Reyes Alpízar was examined by the prison’s medical service on November 28 and December 4, 2002, which concluded that, although he mentioned having pain in the anterior thorax, he had no “apparent injuries on his body” and did not present “signs of external injuries.” 118 92. In addition to the complaint made at his first hearing before the Fifth Criminal Judge, during the presentation of evidence, Reyes Alpízar submitted a report dated November 7, 2007, by expert witness Dr. A.R.L, who concluded that he had been a victim of torture and that there was “a firm connection between the physical and psychological evidence that correlates with the statements made by the victim, which shows that the injuries suffered by Reyes Alpízar Ortiz were caused by the traumas described by him and that he was subjected to severe psychological pressure.” Regarding the medical examinations carried out during his arrest and arraigo, the expert noted a number of injuries that should have been reported but were not recorded or were minimized, and whose sequelae persist. He also mentioned irregularities in the reports, including an emergency hospital admission on October 29, 2002, which was not recorded, and references to Reyes Alpízar being a controlled diabetic, even though he does not suffer from diabetes. 119 93.
