In the Colombian law and order system of this time‚ there were few repercussions for most crimes‚ even capital offences. For example‚ the Vicario brothers faced only a few years in jail‚ and later the brothers had the opportunity to do what they wanted to: Pedro “reenlisted in the armed force” and Pablo became
