• Forensics. Could the widow of Sala survive 45 minutes with two shots and stand up?
  • The conflict.No family, thanks

The fluctuations of times and schedules between the reports provided by the Police and the computer expert report incorporated by the defense of Miguel López have been twisted even more today if the circumstances in which the widow's crime of the former president of the CAM Vicente occurred Room in the twelfth session of the trial.

The appreciations of both turn the last minutes of Mari Carmen Martínez's life into a carousel of seconds that do not add up and incompatible elements. Above them, one thing is clear: Sala's widow could not be alive and dying at the same time . And on this impossibility the two versions swing.

According to the expertise of his mobile phone - carried out by prestigious professionals who intervened, among others, in the Breton case -, the whatsapp of Mari Carmen was activated at 18.55 on December 9, 2016 and, as clarified by the computer engineer which has risen to the podium, it was not an automatic update . “It could not be automatic because the hour, minutes and seconds are very precise. When an automatic update is done, that record is not left, ”he explained.

According to this report, Mari Carmen could be shot when the whatsapp was activated. It was 18.55 in the afternoon, at which time the summary was already considered dead . However, the conclusion of the computer engineer clashes with the time at which Emergencies received notice that there was a bloodied person in the Novocar laundry , the family car dealership that ran his son-in-law and the only one accused of the crime Miguel López. That call, as stated in the proceedings, was made at 18.55.01 hours. Therefore, the two versions are at the antipodes of each other .

The 18 hours 55 minutes and 23 seconds is, from today, a controversial guarismo in the murder that in the Room nobody has been able to decipher . The six women and three men who make up the jury are facing a difficult situation. The computer expert has insisted again and again that he has only studied the mobile and has reflected in a report what he found; that can not go beyond and much less confirm that it was the deceased who activated it .

The Police, the Prosecutor's Office and the private prosecution maintain that Miguel López was the person who shot his mother-in-law. In the summary, the researchers say that López left the family car dealership long before 18.55, specifically at 18.38. It is at that time when the cameras of a business close to yours picked him up with his car at high speed heading to the family farm.

Another of the clashes between the expert report and the one who works in the proceedings is the call that the head of the Israel Fernández workshop - the person who helps María del Carmen with Herminio, in charge of the laundry, and who "babbles" something unintelligible before he dies - he realizes Miguel López to tell him that his mother-in-law has "something" happened to him.

At that time they were still unaware of the extent of the event and had not yet noticed the presence of bushings on the ground. Israel called Miguel at 6:55 p.m. Obviously, at that same time María del Carmen could not be agonizing and activating her whatsapp simultaneously. Three minutes later, Israel calls him again to tell him there are bullets.

The analysis of the telephone issued by the experts hired by the defense, also repairs other aspects of Mari Carmen's mobile phone. There are, according to the experts, called “ incoming and outgoing registered after his death ”. Some of them, said the computer scientist, "do not appear" in the information sent to the courts.

The analysis of the terminal also refers to the fact that around eight in the afternoon (20.11 hours specifically), when the widow of the former president of the CAM lay on the ground, her son Vicente Sala called her and that the call was answered. It is unknown who picked up the phone. In total, the experts encrypt in 12 the incoming and outgoing calls that were made from the mobile and that were received between seven thirty and eight thirty in the afternoon (when María del Carmen had already died) and that, they insist, they do not appear in the information given to the court.

The expert hired by the defense has explained that his company uses a certified tool called Cellebritie, which has allowed "the complete dump of the memory of the mobile" and has a digital signature that guarantees that the result has not been manipulated .

In previous sessions, forensics have disagreed at the time of Martinez's death. While for the coroner of the private prosecution and the Institute of Legal Medicine of Alicante, the victim was shot twice at 6.30 p.m. on that day, for those of the defense they took place around 6:55 p.m. The jury, therefore, has before it a complicated study of times and hours to reach an assessment .

A 150 MILLION COMPANY

The Sala-Martínez family business group was worth between 120 and 150 million euros when the crime occurred. This was stated today by the executor of the will of the victim and family friend for 40 years, José Luis Albarracín, economist and inspector of finance by profession. Albarracín, whom the victim consulted almost daily, said that Mari Carmen had the so-called gold action, which gave her a special weight and that, «following the express wish of her late husband before she died a couple of years before of cancer ”, he intended to change the company bylaws so that, in the event of his death, his only son would be in charge of business. He made a draft in November and was going to materialize it in January.
