The Second Penal Court in the Dominican Republic has revoked a previous 'auto de no ha lugar' (dismissal) that favored Jean André Pumarol Fernández, ordering him to face a trial on the merits (juicio de fondo).
Pumarol Fernández faces charges stemming from a knife attack against his neighbors in the Naco sector. During the violent altercation, a 70-year-old woman lost her life.
With the appellate court's reversal, the legal proceedings against Pumarol Fernández will now advance to a full trial to determine accountability for the woman's death and the injuries inflicted during the neighborhood assault.
