114. Between January and December 2011, the court held 25 hearings to receive evidence and the arguments of the parties. 143 115. On December 16, 2011, the Court delivered its judgment, in which it decided to acquit the three accused. Consequently, on March 16, 2012, the prosecutor filed a remedy of appeal against the first instance judgment, based on the failure to provide the reasoning for it, and owing to flaws in some notifications. 144 116. On October 30, 2012, the Appellate Court decided to annul the appealed judgment and to order that a new oral trial be held, considering that the First Instance Court had dispensed with the statements of six persons opportunely proposed by the Public Prosecution Service without the lower court judge giving any reasons for dispensing with the said testimony. 145 The Court has no further and more up-to-date information in this regard. 117. On February 28, 2013, Ignacio Landaeta filed a brief before the General Inspectorate of Courts requesting the opening of a disciplinary administrative case against the first instance judge Nelson Alexis García Morales. This request was admitted on May 31, 2013, by the General Inspectorate of Courts; 146 however, the Court has no information on the investigations conducted in this regard. VII MERITS 118.
