The December 11, 2012 Jacob Ostreicher spent three hours in the hearing of the First Criminal Court of Santa Cruz, only to find that his case was postponed five more days to know the final verdict.

During this hearing, asked Ostreicher defend freedom over alleged links to drug trafficking.

He was accompanied at the hearing the American actor Sean Penn and the U.S. charge d'affaires, Larry Memmott, among many others.

Memmott was the one who pushed the wheelchair with which he entered the courthouse in Santa Cruz, after leaving the stretcher that carried him from the Incor clinic, where he is hospitalized for his poor health.

On the court date, the U.S. attorney, asked his client to benefit from alternative measures to detention, but the hearing ended, at about 14:00, with the decision of the members to override the ruling of the Ninth Court judge, Enea Fatima Gentile.
