“Sena”. Today they will know whether they are guilty or not guilty/Web
The popular jury has decided to adjourn until 8 a.m. today to announce its verdict on the murder of Cecilia Strzyzowski.
They must decide whether to convict or acquit the seven people accused of this crime. Cesar Sena, the victim’s former partner and alleged perpetrator. his parents, Emerenciano Sena and Marcela Acuña; The same goes for Griselda Reynoso, Fabiana González, Gustavo Obregon and Gustavo Melgarejo.
Ricardo Osuna, one of Emerenciano Senna’s defenders, reported that “the two sides could not reach an agreement.” “I think there’s an internal relationship between them,” he surmised.
In this sense, the lawyer said his client and other defendants were also worried about the verdict being read out “and not just to the community.”
“In complex cases like this, where there are so many defendants, witnesses, and verdict options, it is normal for arguments to be lengthy,” a judicial source explained.
However, there are various interpretations of the doubts raised by this postponement. For example, the defense of Emerenciano Senna considers the postponement a “victory”.
Doubt is always known to favor suspects in any crime.
Before deliberations begin this Friday, each defendant was given a chance to say their final words. Some took advantage of that right, while others abstained.
Of all the accused, Marcela Acuña once again went the extra mile and, true to her style, delivered some explosive words. Within hours of hearing the verdict, César Sena’s mother, accused of murder doubly aggravated by relationship and of crimes committed in the context of gender violence as a principal participant, once again asserted her innocence and surprisingly requested the intervention of the Chaco judiciary.
The Piquetero leader claimed that her demands meant that to her the incident was politically manipulated.
“I also wanted to let everyone know that even if I am convicted in this case, I am committed to continuing to fight for all my colleagues who are out of work, all my colleagues who have no food at home today, and also for the state judiciary to intervene in the disaster they have caused in this case, but I hope it does not feel like jurisprudence,” Cecilia’s former mother-in-law said.
In that sense, Mr. Acuña continued to make accusations about the judiciary, even criticizing the “executive branch,” although he did not specify from where.
“This case, which today is a trial by a jury, a popular jury, was started on the basis of a falsehood of false arrests from day one, with prejudice in order to seize power. And I believe that the crime lies with the executive branch. And I will take responsibility for my words, and I will do whatever I can, wherever I am, for the judicial branch of Chaco to intervene,” he insisted.
In his speech, Acuña said he was innocent and “never intended to harm another human being.”
In the same section of the hearing, Cesar’s father Emerenciano Sena, who was charged with the same crime as Acuña, said only that he was innocent. In the case of the alleged perpetrator, he chose to remain silent, as he had throughout the debate. Now it’s the jury’s turn to tell and define their fate.
Judge Dolly Fernandez is the technical presiding judge in this proceeding.
