Habeas corpus in Favor of Gerardo Hernandez
CUBA, May 15, 2010. The defence team of Gerardo Hernandez, one of the five Cubans antiterrorists unfairly incarcerated in the US, will apply for habeas corpus on June 14, in an effort to have his case re-examined.
The appeal in favor of Hernandez, who was given two life sentences plus 15 years, will be made before Judge Joan Lenard, at Miami’s Federal Court; the same judge that sentenced him along with another four Cuban antiterrorists in 2001.
Hernandez and Rene Gonzalez (condemned to 15 years) were excluded from the re-sentencing process carried out by late 2009 in Miami, in which Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero and Fernando Gonzalez were given new slightly reduced sentences.
With the habeas corpus in favor of Hernandez, confined to a maximum security penitentiary in Adelanto, California, defence lawyers hope that his two life sentences will be dropped. (Cubaminrex- RHC)
