  • Chronology: The 12 Days of Cruelty by Ana Julia Quezada

The seven women and the two men who will decide today the future of Ana Julia Quezada already know what the requests of the parties are. The Dominican, murderous confessed, killed Gabriel Cruz, eight and his partner's son, Angel Cruz , "to eliminate the emotional bond between the father and the son, which bothered his personal relationship plans," and especially for " eliminate that emotional bond so intense that existed between the parents [Ángel and Patricia Ramírez ], whose priority was the interest of this child, with dedication and attention, ”says the Prosecutor's Office , which requested yesterday in Almeria, in the penultimate session of the trial against the Dominican, 45, permanent prison reviewable for her.

The same penalty requested for the defendant the lawyer of the family of Gabriel Cruz, Francisco Torres , with change of position in his final reports of the defenders of Ana Julia Quezada, who although they reaffirmed in the petition of only three years for reckless homicide, they left the door open, subsidiaryly, that the homicide never denied by its represented as fraudulent homicide was considered in its highest rank, because it is the victim of a minor: 15 years.

Along with that, Esteban Hernández Thiel , a lawyer who defended Ana Julia Quezada, invoked three mitigations for the punishment: the confession that her sponsor carried out from the beginning, the "outburst" that led her to kill the child Gabriel by modifying the control of herself over her will, and the fact that in the days following the crime the woman was consuming tranquilizers.

This last aspect would be taken into account, Hernández Thiel proposes, for the 10-year sentence that the Prosecutor's Office and (12 in the case of the private prosecution) request for Quezada for “psychic injuries” to the parents of the minor, related to concealment of the body of the child for 12 days on the estate of Rodalquilar , and for the woman's refusal to report that Gabriel had died, even pretending that the child could appear safe and sound - which led the Civil Guard to believe for a large part of the search that the child was indeed the victim of an extortive kidnapping.

The defendant, on the other hand, made use of her last word to, along the lines of what happened during her statement, show herself upset and apologize to the parents and even "to society and Spain."

«First of all, ask for forgiveness from Gabriel's family members, all family members, and anyone who has been harmed by my action. I also want to apologize to my daughter and my whole family, to everyone who could have felt bad about what I did. In general throughout Spain and I hope God forgives me, ”said Ana Julia Quezada.

The two accusations, however, did not agree on the form of Gabriel Cruz's death in one respect: the Prosecutor's Office maintains that the killing occurred in a frantic manner due to the absence of the child's ability to defend himself, but the family lawyer argues that there was also cruelty, for the injuries that the minor presented in the skull when his body was recovered.
