A police officer stands guard outside the house of former Caracas police commissioner Ivan Simonovis in Caracas September 20, 2014. Simonovis left jail on Saturday after a judge allowed him to continue his 30-year sentence from home due to frail health, his family said. The high-profile imprisoned former Caracas police commissioner was convicted of participating in the assassination of four protesters during a march that triggered a brief coup against the late President Hugo Chavez in 2002.
