The weekend that passed was not one more for Ernesto Garcia Maañon. After a busy week of work at the Power of attorney, where he has worked for more than two decades, took the opportunity as always to rest and face routines outside of the analysis of judicial cases and the typical climate of the court. For this reason, among other things, he went to a shooting tournament with one of his custodians and, when he came back, he finished involved in the death of two people that they wanted to assault them.

Maañon is 74 years old and is referred to as a career man within the Judiciary. Currently, she is a member of the Chamber I of the San Isidro Court of Appeals and Guaranteesa position that recently led him to, for example, bring to trial the eight defendants for the murder of Diego Armando Maradonacase in which he intervened for jurisdictional issues.

But before taking that position, In his 25 years as a judge, he gained experience in other important positions. He headed a court of first instance and then he was a correctional judge until 1998, when the accusatory system was reformed and he became a chambermaid, a position he currently holds. He is also a postgraduate and PhD professor in Criminal Procedure Law in El Salvador.

In 2011, during an interview published by the Center’s legal magazine, the magistrate was asked about social frustration in the face of insecurity. In response to this, he replied: “People don’t care that the crimes are solved, they don’t care that later the people who killed their son are in jail, they don’t. What matters to them is crime preventionand prevention depends on many factors, among them, resocialization because we see that the most serious crimes are all caused by repeat offenders and all of that is a dead letter.”
