Op 15 november 2011 is artikel 1:30 Wetboek van Strafrecht in werking getreden. Dit artikel houdt in dat een tot levenslang gestrafte na twintig jaar vrijheidsbeneming voorwaardelijk in vrijheid gesteld kan worden, als het Hof van oordeel is dat een verdere tenuitvoerlegging geen redelijk doel meer dient. Om hierover een beslissing te kunnen nemen, neemt het Hof de positie van de nabestaanden van het eventuele slachtoffer in beschouwing en het gevaar dat de veroordeelde alsnog zal recidiveren. In het jaar 2000 is de veroordeelde door het Hof veroordeeld tot een levenslange gevangenisstraf wegens het medeplegen van gekwalificeerde doodslag, medeplegen vuurwapenbezit (meermalen gepleegd), poging doodslag (meermalen gepleegd) en verschillende diefstallen. Het Hof overwoog toen dat de veroordeelde, gelet op de bewezenverklaarde feiten, dient te worden aangemerkt als een uiterst gevaarlijke en onverbeterlijke recidivist die een reële bedreiging voor de Curaçaose samenleving is. Het Hof achtte het uit een oogpunt van bescherming van de samenleving noodzakelijk dat veroordeelde van het deelnemen aan die samenleving wordt uitgesloten. De procedure die is gestart om te beoordelen of de veroordeelde voorwaardelijk in vrijheid kan worden gesteld, heeft ruim drie jaar geduurd. Diverse deskundigen, waaronder een psychiater en een psycholoog, hebben over de veroordeelde gerapporteerd. Deze deskundigen achten de kans dat de veroordeelde in de toekomst opnieuw strafbare feiten zal plegen laag en concluderen dat de veroordeelde thans in staat zou moeten zijn om met de juiste begeleiding in de maatschappij te functioneren. Daarnaast hebben de reclassering, de gevangenis en de psycholoog gerapporteerd dat de veroordeelde zich de afgelopen maanden in het kader van zijn resocialisatie buiten de gevangenismuren heeft ingezet en dat dat vrijwel uitsluitend positief resultaat heeft opgeleverd. Gedurende de afgelopen periode liet de veroordeelde zien dat hij, in een gestructureerde omgeving, goed functioneert. Het Hof overweegt thans dat de kans dat de veroordeelde, na vrijlaten, wederom strafbare feiten zal plegen zodanig is verminderd dat de bescherming van de samenleving tegen die kans niet meer voorop moet staan. Ook weegt het Hof mee dat hoewel de nabestaanden van het dodelijke slachtoffer nog altijd lijden onder het verlies van hun geliefde, zij te kennen hebben gegeven zich niet meer te verzetten tegen een eventuele voorwaardelijke invrijheidstelling van de veroordeelde. Het Hof oordeelt dan ook dat de gevangenisstraf thans geen redelijk doel meer dient en dat de veroordeelde per 6 april 2022 in vrijheid dient te worden gesteld, onder het opleggen van voorwaarden. Een van de voorwaarden is dat de veroordeelde gedurende de rest van zijn leven geen strafbare feiten mag plegen, anders kan de levenslange gevangenisstraf herleven. Ook zal de veroordeelde gedurende zes maanden onder elektronisch toezicht staan en gedurende drie jaren worden begeleid door de reclassering. LIFE IMPRISONMENT FOR COMPLICITY IN AGGRAVATED MANSLAUGHTER  By: JJosephaNews Reading Time:  1:00 mins. Twitter: @JJosephaNews    Willemstad, Curacao. On November 15, 2011, Article 1:30 of the Criminal Code came into effect. This article means that a person sentenced to life imprisonment can be released on parole after twenty years of deprivation of liberty, if the Court is of the opinion that further enforcement no longer serves a reasonable purpose. In order to be able to make a decision on this, the Court takes into account the position of the next of kin of the possible victim and the risk that the convicted person will still reoffend.    CURACAO PUBLIC PROSECUTION STATEMENT: “In the year 2000, the convicted person was sentenced by the Court to life imprisonment for complicity in aggravated manslaughter, complicity in possession of firearms (committed several times), attempted manslaughter (committed several times) and various thefts.  The Court then considered that the convicted person, in view of the proven facts, should be regarded as an extremely dangerous and incorrigible recidivist who is a real threat to Curacao society. The Court considered it necessary from the point of view of the protection of society that the convicted person be excluded from participating in that society.  The procedure that has been started to assess whether the convicted person can be released on parole has lasted more than three years. Various experts, including a psychiatrist and a psychologist, have reported on the convict. These experts consider the chance that the convicted person will commit criminal offenses again in the future low and conclude that the convicted person should now be able to function in society with the right guidance.  In addition, the probation service, the prison and the psychologist have reported that the convict has spent the past few months working outside the prison walls as part of his rehabilitation and that this has produced almost exclusively positive results. During the past period, the convict showed that he functions well in a structured environment.  The Court now considers that the chance that the convicted person, after release, will commit criminal offenses again has diminished to such an extent that the protection of society against that chance should no longer be paramount. The Court also takes into account that although the relatives of the fatal victim are still suffering from the loss of their loved one, they have indicated that they no longer oppose a possible conditional release of the convicted person.  The Court therefore rules that the prison sentence no longer serves a reasonable purpose and that the convicted person must be released from 6 April 2022, subject to conditions. One of the conditions is that the convicted person may not commit any criminal offenses for the rest of his life, otherwise the life sentence can be revived. The convicted person will also be under electronic supervision for six months and will be supervised by the probation service for three years.” TRANSLATION: [Felicity: 05% - Fidelity: 95% ]  OVERALL TRANSLATION: FELICITY:05% / FIDELITY:95% PAPIAMENTU/DUTCH : ENGLISH     Fact Check:  We strive for accuracy and fairness.
