The Puerto Rico Department of Justice is preparing for a potential appeal by the defense of Elvia Cabrera, who was sentenced to 102 years in prison for the murder of Gabriela Nicole Pratts Rosario in Aibonito. The prosecution filed a motion requesting a complete copy of the case file, including all written motions, court orders, and trial recordings, in anticipation of the appeal.
Cabrera's lawyer, Alberto Rivera Ramos, has stated that they will appeal the verdict, citing 'multiple errors'. The appeal process is expected to take a significant amount of time due to the extensive nature of the case file.
The defense has 30 days to formally file the appeal.
