Ito ay Salitang Español na nangangahulugang permanent imprisonment, o permanenteng pagkapiit.Sa kaniyang desisyon, inihalintulad ni Demetriou ang krimen sa isang plano na tila binuo sa impiyerno.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/08/22/19/timeline-the-gomez-sarmenta-murder-case">&#x27;A plot hatched in hell&#x27;: Timeline of the Gomez-Sarmenta murder case</a></li></ul>Kinukuwestiyon ngayon ng retiradong hukom ang basehan para sabihing puwedeng maisama si Sanchez sa ilalim ng &quot;good conduct rule.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/video/news/08/23/19/alamin-paano-ang-komputasyon-para-sa-gcta-ng-mga-bilanggo">ALAMIN: Paano ang komputasyon para sa &#x27;GCTA&#x27; ng mga bilanggo</a></li></ul>&quot;I will question first what is their interpretation of the law... Are people convicted of heinous crimes included or excluded? &#x27;Wag nilang insultuhin ang intelligence ng Filipino public,&quot; sabi ng hukom.Naniniwala si Demetriou na may kinalaman dito si Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo na lead counsel noon ni Sanchez sa paglilitis.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/08/21/19/guevarra-no-panelo-intervention-in-convicted-rapist-murderers-release">Panelo denies hand in convicted rapist-murderer&#x27;s looming release</a></li></ul> Una na itong pinabulaanan ni Panelo.Binanatan din ni Demetriou ang pagsang-ayon ni Sen. Ronald &quot;Bato&quot; dela Rosa na bigyan ng pangalawang pagkakataon ang katulad ni Sanchez. Si dela Rosa ay naging pinuno ng Bureau of Corrections bago naging senador.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/08/21/19/why-not-bato-says-rape-slay-convict-sanchez-deserves-second-chance">&#x27;Why not?&#x27;: Bato says rape-slay convict Sanchez &#x27;deserves second chance&#x27;</a></li></ul>&quot;Binigyan mo ba ng second chance ang mga pinagtotokhang mo... na mga maliliit na tao? You have a convoluted definition of justice,&quot; sabi ng hukom.Ngayon daw, tila ginagawa umanong joke o biro ang 7 reclusion perpetua na parusa para kay Sanchez.&quot;It&#x27;s a mockery. It&#x27;s a mockery,&quot; aniya.

Sa kaniyang desisyon, inihalintulad ni Judge Harriet Demetriou ang krimen sa isang plano na tila binuo sa impiyerno.
