You’re going to find yourself without grandparents… I’m capable of anything….. why am I killing her, I swear I’m killing her….. It means going to prison but both of them are dead and the first is your grandmother.
Finally, that day, at midday, the young pregnant woman decided to go out to talk to the defendant, both heading to a nearby park to chat. Pablo insistently asked her to resume the relationship, which she refused, telling him that what she wanted was to live in peace with her grandparents. In this way, and given his poor anger management, the defendant took out a knife and brandished it in front of him in a threatening manner without saying anything. He also asked her to spend the night together in a local hotelfor which the victim needed his ID. Under pressure from him, she went to her grandparents to take him because she did not have him with her.
He gave Grandpa a helping hand
Once the couple arrived near their grandparents’ home, EM RR’s grandfather left his home and reproached the defendant for his presence in the city. Pablo, with the intention of harming the physical and bodily integrity of his ex-partner’s grandfather, walked towards him and pushed him. It is then that the young pregnant She reproached the defendant for his behavior, both going to the street of local doctors to continue talking at the request of Pablo who returned insistently to ask her to go live with him in Cordoba, refusing again.

Today the High Court of Andalusia confirmed the extremes which criminally sentence the accused to two years and six months in prison for habitual physical and mental abuse, ban for four years carrying a weapon, ban on approaching the victim; in addition to a year in prison for minor threats of domestic violence.
There is no room for a mistrial
As the perpetrator of a minor offense of mistreatment at work sentenced to a three-month fine with a daily allowance of 15 euros, and as the perpetrator of an offense of murder in degree of attempt and abortion for the degree of attempt, with the aggravating circumstances of sex and mixed parentage in both crimes, 11 years in prison, an additional three years for the offense of abortion as well as ten years of restraining order against his son.
The reasons given by the decision to withdraw civil liability and which do not take into account no case of mistrial are that this request was presented at the time of the oral trial, not before, and was also not included in its classification by the prosecutor, which could lead to impotence only in this aspect of civil liability.
