Next Monday, the Oral Criminal Court 1 of the city of pains will announce whether or not to condemn rugby players. In the event that you consider that they are guilty, you must determine if the eight defendants receive life imprisonment or if any of them receive a lesser sentence that could even lead to a release from prison in a short time.
These are the possibles scenarios that emerge from what was discussed during the trial:
maximum thomsen, Enzo Comelli, Matias Benicelli, Blas Cinalli, Ayrton Violazand Luciano, Cyrus and Lucas Pertosi came to trial charged as co-authors of the crime of “aggravated homicide due to treachery and the premeditated cooperation of two or more people”and the same was sustained in his allegations by the prosecutors Juan Manuel Davila and gustavo garciaand by lawyers Fernando Burlando and Fabian and Facundo Amendolawho represent the parents of the victim.
If the judges Maria Claudia Castro, Emiliano Lazzari and Christian Rabaia They agree to what was raised by prosecutors and the injured party and understand that all or some of them are co-perpetrators of the same crime, the penalty that fits them is life imprisonment.
In the event that the court deems accredited only one of the aggravatingthe penalty will also be life sentence for those who are found criminally responsible as co-authors.
Hugo Tomeidefense attorney, argued before the court that the eight defendants be acquitted since according to him there was a “incongruity” between the original accusation with which he came to trial and the one that the prosecution raised in his plea, requested the annulment of the seizure of the cell phones and clothing of the accused at the time of their arrest, and devoted part of his argument to question different procedures of the cause and the media treatment received for the fact.
- Penalty of 2 to 6 years in prison
Tomei suggested that if his clients receive a sentence, they should be accused of a “murder in brawl”. The lawyer assured that there was “an attack” and that the event “is part of a homicide in an attack known as a fight”, so after the three years they have been in pretrial detention, “everyone would be released”.
- Penalty of 3 to 6 years in prison
He also stated that if convicted, rugby players should be convicted of “preterintentional homicide” which, according to the penal code, is considered to be someone who, with the purpose of causing harm to the body or health of another person, produces his death, when the means used could not reasonably have caused the death. Then, the defendants could also be released from prison.
- Penalty of 8 to 25 years in prison
Finally, he proposed that they be sentenced for a “simple homicide with eventual intent”, that is to say, the defendants should have represented that, by beating Báez Sosa in this way, they could cause his death and, despite that, they continued with their actions.
If the judges condemn the rugbiers for this last crime, there could be the option of imposing a different sentence on each of them according to the role played in the attack on the victim.
