Daniel Sancho’s questions
In accordance with the country’s regulations, Daniel Sancho not only spoke to defend himself from what he was hearing but also to ask several questions to the four witnesses provided by the Prosecutor. The judge, whose identity is a mystery, did not like the Spaniard’s attitude at all, so he asked him that, if he is going to ask more questions, they be relevant. But what did the young man really ask?
The accused wanted to know why it took about two weeks for the owner of the villa where they were staying to hand over to the police the knife on which traces of Sancho’s DNA were found. The accusation says that I rented the motorcycle because there was premeditation, what do you think? (…) And do you think that your testimony guarantees that I am accused of premeditated murder?continued explaining.
