He recently made headlines for criticizing the Osa Public Prosecutor's Office after it decided to archive the case of a double homicide involving prominent lawyer Carolina Herrera and her partner Edwin Montoya. Rivera described the decision as 'premature, reckless, and improper,' claiming that key investigative steps, such as examining the cell phones of potential suspects and interviewing a crucial witness, were overlooked. His statements have sparked a debate about the effectiveness of the investigation and the pursuit of justice in this tragic case.
