On Friday, a cloth bearing inscriptions was suspended from electrical wiring on the road leading to the Aibonito judicial centre. It read a plea for freedom for Elvia Cabrera, charged as a co-perpetrator in the crime of teenager Gabriela Nicole Pratts.

The text printed on the banner attacked the conduct of a state agent, alleging that he had betrayed principles of impartiality in incriminating an innocent person. The slogan included the hashtag "#FreeElvia" as a gesture of support for the accused.

The oral trial is at its 18th stage. Today's hearing had scheduled the statement of Miriadny Avilés, a family member of another person linked to the case.

Cabrera remains under criminal proceedings alongside other defendants for the homicide that occurred in the area. The investigation has generated widespread media coverage on the island.
