On November 29, 1994, the Attorney General commenced an action for jactitation against Jennifer Harbury. Under this procedure, the latter was given 15 days to make the corresponding complaint or, to the contrary, cease to hold the armed forces responsible for a determined conduct. On December 2, 1994, the Court prohibited Jennifer Harbury from leaving Guatemala for the duration of the proceeding; this prohibition was lifted 10 days later17. On January 26, 1995, the Sixth Civil Trial Court declared itself incompetent in the action for jactitation, because this legal figure only applies to cases of disputes relating to property18. 83.

On March 28, 1995, this Court declared itself incompetent because the proceeding related to crimes or common misdemeanors committed by members of the armed forces, and forwarded the file to the Retalhuleu Military Trial Court20. 85. On April 5 and 10, 1995, the Retalhuleu Military Trial Court dismissed the case opened against 13 members of the armed forces, because it considered that statements made in the testimony of Santiago Cabrera López about the crimes of “illegal detention, homicide, assassination, light injuries, serious injuries, very serious injuries, coercion, threats, crimes against the obligations of humanity, abuse of authority and abuse against individuals”, to the detriment of Bámaca Velásquez, had not been proved21.
