Supreme Court ruling on the Jesús Oropeza case
Supreme Court dismisses jurisdiction dispute in Oropeza case, maintains proceedings in common jurisdiction
The Supreme Court dismissed a jurisdictional dispute raised by a police judge in the case of the murder of Jesús Oropeza. This decision allowed the case to continue to be heard by the common courts and not to be transferred to the military justice system, which was a common practice to guarantee impunity for members of law enforcement.
