La Plata: “I want to make it very clear What happened in Maradona’s trial has never happened in the history of the Argentine judiciary. It was the responsibility of Judge (Julieta) McIntash. He is a bad person, he lies, he cheats“, declared Maximiliano Savarino, judge of Court No. 3 of San Isidro, during the jury against his colleague with whom he shared the bench during the canceled trial.
The statement submitted to the Secretariat of the Judges’ Prosecution was accompanied by other statements of equal force: “McIntash fooled us. If he had received the appropriate support, the case would have been over and we would have issued a ruling.. But she resorted to deception: She told us: Don’t worry, they were filming me, it’s a personal matter.
“Before the discussion McIntash tells us he wanted solutions in court because he needed moneyBecause the husband was robbed. He stated that he has a transportation company. “He did it twice,” Savarino said.
After insisting that the judge had misled the court into allowing the filming of the documentary Divine Justice, Savarino asserted: “She made a documentary with her friend and wrote to the chamber to say I could not continue to interfere any longer.”
The witness stated that the court was vacant and that this place was occupied by McIntash to try Maradona by order of the San Isidro District Chamber.
He noted that since McIntash’s arrival (as a replacement) there have been multiple discussions. “She wanted to go to the house where Maradona died. For the documentary. We told him no“.
On repeated occasions, the witness insisted on various altercations before the trial began: “There were two previous issues around the courtroom. McIntash shouted at Judge (Pablo Adrian) RolonFrom Court No. 5, he insulted and bullied him. “Then they did a summary for Rolon.”
“In addition, there was another problem before the trial, which took place on March 11. McIntash expressed his opposition to changing the beginning of the debate,” citing a background to reinforce the judge’s problematic behavior.
“I stopped McIntasch because she generated conflicts: she wouldn’t have the first vote, she wouldn’t get the court’s directions and she wouldn’t take your place anymore.”male.
The jury was closely followed by Chief Justice Hilda Kogan and members of the jury assisted by Secretary Ulises Jimenez.
Throughout the testimony, the judge emphasized that the documentary was never authorized: “We gave the order to all staff not to reveal anything. There were photographs, there was an autopsy. There were also signs in the discussion that said: ‘Photography is prohibited.’He emphasized vaguely.
Jurors asked the witness to calm down at various times. Even Judge Cogan had to ask him to be specific in his answers.
“Someone, as presiding judge, finds out that a judge is doing this,” the judge said. “We notified the High Court Undersecretary for Communications immediately. We did not know that McIntashe’s photographer was recording. We found that out later.” “She was making a parallel judgment.”
During the hearing, Savarino mentioned this as well McIntash even asked his peers to cast their votes on which sentence would be included in the documentary Divine Justice.
