![]() Witnesses who are specialists in criminal investigation exposed how the narco-politics in the Chihuahua mountains functioned, with the possible involvement of the present local government in the crime, an unresolved link in this investigation.”Ĭarles Torner, Executive Director of PEN International, recalled that “90 percent of the crimes against journalists in Mexico remain unpunished. He was a leader in drug trafficking and had political connections. Furthermore, the intellectual author of the crime was identified. The sentence to 50 years in prison was announced on Friday, 21 August 2020, and this marks a precedent in the access to justice for crimes committed against journalists in Mexico, since the case was litigated at the federal level as a murder related to the victim’s journalism.Īccording to Reporters Without Borders and Propuesta Cívica, after almost three years from the beginning of the legal process and 31 days of trial, “It was shown that Miroslava was a victim of homicide as a consequence of her journalistic investigations. On 18 August 2020, the trial was resumed –it had been interrupted by pandemic. On 18 March 2020, Federal Judge Nestor Pedraza Sotelo pronounced a decision against Moreno Ochoa after 17 days of trial in which more than 50 witnesses testified. We will never forget the courage and determination of Miroslava Breach.” Nevertheless, we still must raise our voices to put an end to impunity for violence and persecution against this profession. Jennifer Clement, President of PEN International, comments that “This sentence represents an advance in the struggle against impunity for crimes against communicators. Grips or who haven’t mucked around in the same mud as the main character.PEN International and its centres in San Miguel de Allende and Guadalajara welcome the verdict and sentence to 50 years in prison of Juan Carlos Moreno Ochoa, alias El Larry, for his participation in the murder of the journalist Miroslava Breach Velducea and renew their call to the government of Mexico to continue the investigations to clarify the crime completely. And… I suspect it might even hold some appeal to those who do not write exclusively with Dr. Grip’s appearence and the geocache coincidence, I think it is safe to say I enjoyed Breach. And now that my memory is reviving, I believe Brian picked out that cache because of its sorted history!Īnyway, since I’m still giddy at the Dr. Brian Nenninger and I did find a geocache in September 2003 that was placed specifically with Robert Hanssen in mind ( GCC562 The Dead Drop). The drop scene was familiar for a reason. “That bridge looks very much like a geocache I found,” I told Sean as we exited the theatre.Īt that point, Sean marveled at how the movie seemed like it was written just for me. I was, however, able to keep that observation to myself until the credits were rolling. Near the end of the movie, when Hanssen was making a drop, the park and bridge looked very familiar. Rock Creek Park was featured and finally, another park caught my eye. Since the film is set in D.C., some key scenes took place on the same roads I take to visit my grandmother. Grip wasn’t the only thing I found familiar during the movie. It is like Vicky wrote it and tried to sneak this crap in.” He had a good quote on what he was thinking as the film progressed: Grip’s prominence throughout the movie did not sneak by Sean. Even though I only whispered once, the Dr. In fact, it got a good amount of screen time. Grip’s role to be more than a mere cameo. Grip – Writing utensil of choice for international espionage!Ĭhris Cooper and his esteemed co-star, the Ice Blue Dr. Just then, Chris Cooper tells Ryan Phillippe, “Best pens in the world! I never write with anything else.” And, keeping with my practice of selecting gifts based on my tastes, I’ve given a number of people those pens as gifts throughout the years. I recognized it instantly– I have a whole fleet of those pens in a variety of colors and inks. Little did I know, Cooper had a costar that I’ve been an even greater fan of for much longer.Įarly on in the film, Cooper holds up and clicks a thick blue pen. I was interested in the film mainly because I’m fond of Chris Cooper. The movie covers how Hanssen (played by Chris Cooper) was finally caught with the help of a young, wanna-be FBI agent (played by Ryan Phillippe). It’s based on the true story of FBI agent Robert Hanssen who served as a spy for Russia and the Soviet Union for at least 15 years. This evening Sean and I went to see the movie Breach.
