92. Also on September 2, 1993, Mrs. Patricia Trujillo Esparza appeared before the Judge of the Second National Police District Court to recognize her signatures and initials, saying that they “were in due legal order.”77 On September 24, 1993, the judge "separated from the case" Mrs. Patricia Trujillo Esparza as a private accuser and, as the offense was publicly actionable, ordered "that the case continue to be heard with the designated ad hoc prosecutor and the public defender.” 78 93. On November 25, 1993, the Judge of the Second National Police District Court ordered the number of evidentiary procedures, including the taking of testimony from nine policemen (Police Corporal Lizardo Pilco Taipe, Police Corporal Luis Lema, Police Corporal Gonzalo Vargas Trujillo, SGROS Víctor Hugo Sanpedro, National Policewoman Germania Corral, Police Lieutenant Colonel Carlos Rosero Barrezueta, Police Corporal José Gonzalo Sarango Abad, Police Corporal José Raúl Muquinche Pinto) and more than 20 citizens, as well as examination of the firearm, projectiles, and other objects. 79 94. On July 7, 1993, the Judge of the Second National Police District Court issued an order prohibiting Police Second Lieutenant Hernán Cabezas Gallegos from leaving the country. 80 In addition, on February 11, 1994, the pretrial detention was ordered of Police Second Lieutenants Hernán Cabezas Gallegos and Luis Piedra Meza, which precautionary measure was suspended on March 23 due to an offer of bail. 81 95. On February 8, 1994, one of the experts who prepared the medical report, Vicente Pedro Usiña, gave additional testimony, stating with regard to the presence of Tardieu spots that “these spots may be caused by asphyxia.” He said that the spots cannot occur on their own and that in this case, “there were nail beds, which is another symptom.” However, as to whether or not there had been asphyxia, he said that "it would not be possible to say for certain, given that ... it could be confused with shock caused by the projectile in the brain.” 82 96. On February 11, 1994, the Judge of the Second National Police District, “inasmuch as Segundo Márquez and Homero Bermeo are not mentioned in the police seniority listing,” recused himself from examining the case and ruling on responsibility in relation to those two individuals, and referred the record to the case allocation chamber of the Superior Court of Chimborazo. 83 With respect to the foregoing, the Commission notes that the report contains a statement by “Márquez Rodríguez Lorenzo Celestino,” who identifies himself as a “Police Corporal Second Class” (Cabo Segundo de Policía) [Translator's note: Segundo is the Spanish word for “second” as well as being a common Spanish name] and says that orders came from Major Juan Ávila to pursue Mr. Valencia in the patrol car. 84 In addition, there is a statement dated September 77 Appendix 42.
