Claim: Supreme Court of the Dominican Republic has a total of 15 Judge appointed by Local Council of Magistracy and one of the Judge is Julio César Castaños Guzmán.
Evidence: 16 
It is currently 16 judges. In the Constitution of 1963, nine judges, although by law enacted in 1958 the number rose to 11, but later again reduced to 9. 
Law 25-91 established that the number of members of the court would be 11 judges, but later the law that sets the number 156-97 in 16 judges, including the Chief Justice was enacted.
