91. Based on the above, the II Criminal Court Representative filed a motion for reconsideration of the judgments of the Single Criminal Court of the Specialized Circuit of Neiva and the Superior Court for the Judicial District of Neiva, which had acquitted the defendants of the murder of journalist Nelson Carvajal Carvajal.83 The Assistant Prosecutor asserted that “subsequent to the acquittal, new evidence arose that was not known at the time of trial, and which implicates the acquitted defendants, to wit: the statement given by Pablo Emilio Bonilla Betancurt (supra para. 88); and the supplemental affidavit provided on August 25 of the same year by Judith Carvajal Carvajal.” 84 She also referred to the IACHR’s Admissibility Report 559/2002 in this matter. 92. On April 1, 2009 the Supreme Court declined to hear the motion for reconsideration, as “neither the new evidence—which served as the basis for the National Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Unit to order pretrial detention measures against the then-president of the departmental legislature of Huila on September 4, 2008 for the murder of Nelson Carvajal Carvajal—nor the admissibility of petition 559/2002 on October 13, 2004 satisf[ied] the ‘verification’ requirement referred to in Constitutional Court in Judgment C-004 of 2003.”85 With respect to the Admissibility Report, the Court explained that circumstance will be given the appropriate consideration by this Court at the time of its final outcome.”86 93. Based on the Supreme Court’s decision, on September 25, 2009, the Prosecutor’s Office decided to close the investigation against the then-president of the departmental legislature of Huila and ordered the investigation against him shelved.87 94. The record in this case reflects that the Office of the Prosecutor also implicated alias “Oswaldo Patiño,” in the offenses of rebellion and murder, as well as alias “el Corcho,” both of whom were alleged members of the FARC. The Office of the Prosecutor subsequently issued warrants for their arrest. In order 0-2067 dated September 7, 2010, the Prosecutor General of Colombia changed the assignment and appointed a prosecutor from the Human Rights Unit. The Unit took over the case on November 5, 2010, and on February 21, 2011 it ordered the examination of the evidence. By July 23, 2013, three reports had reportedly been received from the Judicial Police. According to the most recent information provided by the State, alias “Oswaldo Patiño” and alias “el Corcho” have reportedly been implicated in the investigation. 88 The State did not provide further information on the progress of this inquiry. 5.
