Quote: "No one was concerned that Lopez would have the opportunity to kill again. If he was paroled from the prison in Ecuador he would still have to stand trial for his murders in Colombia and Peru. But after 20 years of solitary confinement, in the summer of 1998, Lopez was taken in the middle of the night to the Colombia border and released. Neither Colombia or Peru had the money to bring the madman to justice."
Paraphrase: Not a soul believed that the monster of the Andes would ever kill again even if released early because of the fact that he had many other trials awaiting him. If he was ever freed from the Ecuadorian Prison, He would be have trials from Colombia and Peru. However, in 1998, he was paroled from prison and was set free to never be prosecuted again.
Summary: This man, Pedro Alonso Lopez, killed and raped over 300 South American children. He would have tea parties and play games with the bodies of the children that he had raped and killed. Pedro Alonso Lopez is known as the worst serial killers of all time. And yet, after 20 years of prison, this man is free to kill again. I have prepared this question for you. Who is at fault? Lopez or the government? However, there is a third option. Perhaps the fact that they are all human justify what they have done.

Lopez is clearly at fault. Whether or not the government is at fault remains undecided until a point in the future when he is found dead or he is found to have murdered dozens more.
