Once the maximum pre-trial detention term of the defendant Oscar Alberto Carrera González expired and once he had requested his “release due to excess prison time,” on June 15, 2010, the National Criminal Chamber changed the measure to appearance with restrictions, effective as of June 29, 2010.

On January 28, 2011, the representative of the Public Prosecutor’s Office requested the dismissal of the written accusation regarding the crime of genocide in order to establish a new legal classification of the offense as a crime of aggravated homicide with the aggravating factors of ferocity and great cruelty, in relation to the deaths of the fifteen villagers of Rodeo Pampa. 142 131. On February 9, 2012, the National Criminal Chamber of Lima’s Superior Court of Justice classified the events of July 4, 1991 in the peasant community of Santa Barbara, as a crime against humanity and, consequently, ruled that liability for these acts was not subject to any statute of limitations. In that judgment, Oscar Alberto Carrera Gonzáles was convicted as a secondary accomplice to the crime of aggravated homicide with ferocity and premeditation y and sentenced to nine years imprisonment and the payment of 25,000 new soles as civil reparations in favor of each of the legal heirs of the victims, jointly and severally with those responsible for the criminal act.
