On June 20, Luis G. Ortiz Molina, a 32-year-old mental patient from Caguas, appeared before a judge in that city charged with crimes not uncommon in Puerto Rico. During an argument with his partner, according to the police report, he called her a “sellout,” a “wretch,” and that he was going to “beat her up,” which earned him several charges of threatening and psychological abuse under Domestic Violence Law 54.
