I reverted the editing (italicized) that follows

[edit]

...Capital punishment in Puerto Rico is forbidden by law. This previous statement is highly misleading. The case against Ms. Vazquez-Rijos was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico pursuant federal law that includes capital punishment. Also, at the time the indictment against Ms. Vazquez-Rijos was filed, she was already living in Italy. Therefore, she never fled to Italy because she was already residing there.

I would accept the paragraph if you could show a citation that Ms Vazquez-Rijos was indicted for an offense that carries the death penalty. In addition, to my recollection, no person convicted in Federal Court in Puerto Rico in the last fifty years has been executed.

Finally, if you murder someone in the US, and move to a different country which restricts extradition to the US before the indictment is filed, but which you expected, and do not return, most rational people would consider that flight.

I also reverted: ...noting that she had been indicted for involvement in the murder of her husband. This previous statement is also misleading and inaccurate. When Ms. Vazquez-Rijos filed the case against the Anhnag's, she had yet to be indicted. During the discovery process of this civil case, Ms. Vazquez-Rijos was deposed. If she had been indicted, the FBI would have arrested her.

The paragraph is not misleading, it does not say she filed the case after her indictment, only that the decision on the case took notice of her indictment. Also the decision notes that she failed to return for a second deposition. This is almost certainly because she had been indicted for charges relating to this murder, and would have been arrested had she returned from her flight from justice.

Again if you can substantiate your comments with a source and your comments are relevant, then they should be included. As they stand, the comments meet neither of these criteria.Rococo1700 (talk) 05:08, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
