- 'Case Room'. Controversy around a verdict that does not convince the magistrate
- Theories: All the deaths of María del Carmen
The jury court has declared Miguel López not guilty of the crime of his mother-in-law, María del Carmen Martínez, the widow of former CAM president Vicente Sala, by 6 votes in favor and 3 against. The spokesperson of the non-professional court has read the verdict before the Chamber after a deliberation that has lasted three days.
In this way, the six women and three men who have integrated the street court have embraced the defense thesis that without direct evidence a guilty verdict cannot be constructed in the face of the accusations effort to legitimize the abundant evidence that was against López. Thus, the jury understands that it was not the defendant who gave two shots in the head to his mother-in-law the late night of December 9, 2016 in the car wash of the family business he ran.
The accusations - the Prosecutor's Office and the private accusation exerted by Mari Carmen Martínez's son - have always supported the police thesis that Miguel killed his mother-in-law for a matter of power while his defense, over the years, He has censored these theories and presented him as a victim of circumstances .
