Phenomenal Justice

P RISIN PERPETA, (life imprisonment), Judge Carlos Espinosa spoke in a decisive voice and then paused for a few seconds. Suddenly, a roar jolted the eerie quiet in the courtroom in Buenos Aires: asesinos! (murderers). Judge Espinosa demanded silence and order. He even threatened to continue in closed session. The gallery downstairs was packed with human rights activists and victims who were yelling in outrage after the first life sentence. In comparative calmness the remaining indicted military officers received verdicts ranging between a life sentence and several years in prison, and one officer was acquitted. Upstairs their family members sat in silence; one woman cried quietly. And that was it. In less than an hour the verdict had been disclosed. After nine long months of testimonies and allegations, the trial for crimes against humanity committed during the military dictatorship against five indicted military officers at the federal court in Buenos Aires had finally reached its closure.
