Thank you, Your Honor. Mr. Suárez has lived in this community for 27 years, Your Honor, and he has been gainfully employed during all of that time. He has a large

family, seven children, ranging in age from 16 years old to just 9 months old. Not only that, but he supports his in-laws as well.

A

Q

Mr. Suárez is a very hard-working man, and his

employer, Mr. Jordan, is here to vouch for him. He also attends church regularly, and I have here a letter from his parish priest, if the Court would care to look at it, to attest to his good character and reliability.

A

El Sr. Suárez es un hombre muy trabajador, y su

empleador, el Sr. Jordan, está aquí para responder por él. También asiste a la iglesia con regularidad, y aquí tengo una carta de su párroco, en caso de que le interese a Su Señoría, para dar fe de su solvencia moral y confiabilidad.

Q

Until this unfortunate incident, Your Honor, Mr. Suárez had never been in trouble with the law. He is a fine, upstanding citizen, and we feel that holding him in custody until he is able to stand trial would be counterproductive. In fact, his family would have to pay the price for what we feel was an unlawful arrest.

A

Hasta este desafortunado incidente, Su Señoría, el Sr. Suárez nunca ha estado en problemas con la ley. Es un buen y honrado ciudadano, y creemos que manteniéndolo bajo custodia hasta que se le juzgue sería contraproducente. De hecho, su familia tendría que pagar el precio por lo que consideramos un arresto ilegal.

Q

You will see from reading the O.R. report that Mr. Suárez does not pose a great risk of fleeing.Although he is from Mexico, he has not been back there in years, and most of

his extended family lives here in the United States. He owns his own home here, and he is not likely to want to forfeit that by fleeing the country.

A

Usted verá al leer el informe de libertad bajo palabra de honor que el Sr. Suárez no es muy probable que huya. Aunque él es de México, no ha regresado allí en años, y la mayoría de

Sus parientes viven aquí en los Estados Unidos. Es dueño de su propia casa aquí, y no creo que quiera perderla al huir el país.

Q

Moreover, Your Honor, Mr. Suárez is most anxious to go to trial and answer to these charges, because he is certain

that a jury will be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that he is not guilty. Therefore, we respectfully request that the Court release Mr. Suárez on his own recognizance

A

Además, Su Señoría, el Sr. Suárez tiene gran deseo de proceder con el juicio para responder ante estos cargos, porque está seguro de que un jurado estará convencido más allá de toda duda razonable de que no es culpable. Por lo tanto, pedimos respetuosamente que la Corte libere al Sr. Suárez bajo su palabra de honor.

Q

Your Honor, considering the nature of the offense, the Prosecution would oppose the O.R. motion. While it is true that Mr. Suárez has no criminal record, this is a sex

offense, and the victim is his niece.

A

Su Señoría, considerando la naturaleza del delito, la fiscalía se opone al pedimiento de bajo palabra de honor. Si bien es cierto que el Sr. Suárez no tiene antecedentes penales, se trata de un delito sexual, y la víctima es su sobrina.
