Resistencia, Chaco (from a special envoy). – The bars surrounding the Center for Judicial Studies in this city were filled with ribbons, balloons and pink napkins, Cecilia’s favorite color. There are also pictures of her. A flag reads, “Chaco demands justice,” and another next to it, “The Seven Forever Seven Knew.” In the front yard, they hung a display that read, “Clan Sena, guilty verdict.”
Final arguments have begun with both sides reviewing their theories of the case and telling the jury what verdict they believe should be reached. Complaint -Juan Martin Bojado on behalf of the Special Finance Team; Gustavo Brind, representative of the victim’s mother and Juan Ignacio Diaz, Undersecretary of Gender and Diversity – He asked the jury to convict the seven defendants.
The 12 jurors must reach a unanimous verdict of guilty or acquittal. If proven guilty, the judge will impose the penalty based on the minimum and maximum limits stipulated in the Penal Code.
“Cecilia thought she would be happy with Cesare, but unfortunately she met the wrong people because Marcela and Emerenciano never accepted her,” said Bojado, the first to speak.
He remembered that Cesare had been really violent with Cecilia during an argument, when she wanted to get out of the truck, and he forced her back and executed her with a guillotine.
And also that his mother and grandmother declared that he bragged about his ability to hide someone: “They invented a little trip for him and he sent it to the junkyard,” he said at a barbecue.
“This obsession turned into a confession“He said. He linked it to Obregon’s letter when he told his wife what had happened.”Same thing as always“.
He said of the Cena family: “With the three of them together, the second part of the plan begins: continuing the routine, attracting as little attention as possible, and erasing the traces of the crime.”
Test the plan and “Basic and active cooperation” The Sena couple’s case is the key point of the trial since they cannot be found guilty as accomplices. The Penal Code explicitly states that parents who conceal evidence of their child’s crime when there is no prior promise are exempt from punishment.
“Caesar did not act alone. Acted under parental authority “They were always behind Ushuaia’s plan to remove this thorn in Cecilia’s side,” Brind agreed.
He added: “They are not as covert as they wanted to appear. There is a previous post and this is supported by previous messages It was noted that her mother-in-law offered her a trip, a house and a job to Ushuaia.
Cesar’s parents made the announcement yesterday. Marcela Acuña resorted to maternal love and admitted that she wanted to cover up for her son. Emerenciano Senna turned to his difficult childhood in a mud house, his dedication to work and the piquetero movement.
The lawyer representing the family said: “Emerenciano described his life in detail. What is mysterious is that he had a mental gap to talk about the event, a circumstance that caught my attention.”
“It’s the circumstances that determine it It is a discourse organized to break away from the trial“, It is considered.
He stated that all the defendants claimed to be innocent, but none of them spoke about the truth that was being investigated.
In turn, Diaz focused on Cena’s house. He added: “Cesar could have killed her in the hotel, in an open field, in a grocery store, in Campo Rossi, in the Emerenciano Sena neighborhood. But no, the gentlemen members of the jury, Cesar Sena, Marcella Acuña and Emerenciano Sena, chose for Cecilia’s death to be at home because that is where their impunity begins.”
“This is part of the organization’s previous plan because they knew they would get away with it wherever they were. They could communicate with their closest collaborators to hide any kind of trace.”
“What will the defense say? That there is no direct evidence. But there are recordings, videos, letters, logs, movements and behavior of people. There is all that evidence that, if clearly evaluated together, according to common sense, confirms our accusation,” Diaz said.
Looking at the jury, he said: “This was not an impromptu event or a political reason. This event was planned with power and inequality, and was based entirely on the impunity that the Sena family has managed.”
On the twelfth day of Cecilia Strzyzowski’s murder trial, five of the seven defendants testified. Everyone asked for Cesar, the main accused, to speak. “Whoever commits a crime must bear responsibility for his crimesaid her father. Marcella remarked:I think it would be healthy for him to say if something happened.” They both sought to separate themselves from him The tax charge accuses them of being primary participants in their daughter-in-law’s crime.
In the front row, their son, who is accused of being an author Homicide is doubly exacerbated by the relationship in the context of gender violence. He could barely lift his head, and sometimes he would take notes.
The defense denies this. In Marcella’s case, there is plenty of evidence explaining how she got rid of the evidence after seeing a “lump” in her home. He asked his assistants to check and help Cesare and also donated the furniture which was later proven to be stained with blood. However, yesterday he had always denied knowing it was a corpse, as well as giving orders as to what should be done with it.
It is still difficult to determine where the Sena leader will be on June 2. The defense is striving to show that he was not aware of what his son did, and that he maintained his routine that day.
Acuña insisted on several occasions that she had not told Emerenciano anything, but she also said that she had asked her husband that day to cancel a planned trip to Saenz Peña to attend a meeting with indigenous communities because Cesar “was not feeling well” and she did not want to leave him alone. I saw it scratched.
Then came the turn of his collaborators accused of cover-up. everyone They asked the perpetrator to pay for what he did They said they did not know that they were involved in concealing this crime. Gustavo Obregon, who had already confessed to collaborating in hiding the body, did not speak. Nor Caesar. They will have one last chance after the arguments and before the ruling.
The second he announced was Fabiana GonzalezMarcela Acuña’s right-hand woman, accused of cleaning certain areas, administering the donation, and transporting a bed and mattress stained with Cecilia’s blood. He said he did not know they had blood. In a few minutes, through tears, she was grateful to Marcela and Emerenciano, whom she introduced to her parents, and asked to return to her son.
Gustavo MelgarejoThe country’s landlord and his former partner, Griselda Reynoso, who are accused of setting the fire to burn Cecilia’s remains, have also claimed their innocence. They claimed that that night they were at a barbecue at a neighbor’s house.
Each side will have 45 minutes, as agreed on Tuesday: if everyone respects this time, there will be about seven and a half hours of arguments. On Friday, the judge will give final instructions to the 12 jurors, who will begin deliberations. This process has Minimum of two hoursbut The maximum is not set. They will have to decide unanimous If the seven accused Guilty or not.
