Lori Berenson

On Friday, a Peruvian court paroled Lori Brenson after she had completed a few more months of her sentence.  Today, she left prison on conditional release.   

President Garcia said that he would only made a decision regarding the commutation of Berenson's parole once all legal maneuvering had been exhausted.  However, the prosecutor in the case is now working to overturn this most recent parole decision.  An appeals court could make that decision within a month, so we are unlikely to hear from Garcia for at least a few more weeks..
