4 Judgment to the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice “so as to review the criminal judgment of April 1, 2005, whereby Mr. Tristán Donoso was convicted, and all the consequences stemming from it […].” 13. On May 12, 2010, the Second Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice issued a judgment indicating that: Article 2462 of Judicial Code establishes that if after executing a conviction a criminal law is enacted, or as a result of a constitutional motion, the law or the decision favor the accused, the Supreme Court of Justice, Criminal Chamber, will review the conviction so as to apply this law or decision, indicating as well that the revision can be made of its own motion. In this regard, since the decision of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights clearly favors the situation of Mr. SANTANDER TRISTÁN DONOSO, it is necessary, based on the aforementioned article, to revise the Judgment of April 1, 2005 issued by the Second Supreme Court of Justice of the First Judicial District of Panama, so as to apply it. It is worth noting that the Republic of Panama, as a State Party to the American Convention on Human Rights since June 22, 1978, recognized, without reservations, on May 9, 1990, the obligatory jurisdiction of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Consequently, based on that set forth in the Judgment of January 27, 2009, delivered by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, this Superiority considers necessary to acquit Mr. SANTANDER TRISTAN DONOSO from the charges of FALSE ACCUSATION to the detriment of JOSÉ ANTONIO SOSSA and, consequently, to annul the EIGHTEEN (18) MONTH prison sentence to which he had been convicted, replaced by a SEVENTY-FIVE (75) DAYS-FINE which totaled SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY BALBOAS (B/.750.00); the disenfranchisement from serving as government employee for the same term as the prison sentence that had been imposed as additional punishment; as well as the payment of the civil compensation for pecuniary damages and pain and suffering to the victim, of which he had also been convicted. Therefore, the Department of Judicial Investigation of the National Police must be notified, to omit from Mr. SANTANDER TRISTÁN DONOSO’s criminal history any criminal record related to the Judgment of April 1, 2005; and also orders to annul any communication made for the execution of the aforementioned Judgment, decision which shall be applied immediately. OPERATIVE SECTION Based on the foregoing, the Supreme Court of Justice, Criminal Chamber, ACQUITS SANTANDER TRISTÁN DONOSO of the charges of perpetrator of the crime of FALSE ACCUSATION to the detriment of JOSÉ ANTONIO SOSSA. The punishment of EIGHTEEN (18) MONTHS of prison imposed on Mr. SANTANDER TRISTÁN DONOSO IS ANNULLED, as well as its replacement for a SEVENTY-FIVE (75) DAYS-FINE, at a ratio of TEN BALBOAS (B/.10.OO) PER DAY, which totaled SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY BALBOAS (B/.750.00); The disenfranchisement from serving as government employee for the same term as the prison sentence that had been imposed on SANTANDER TRISTÁN DONOSO as additional punishment IS ANNULLED;
