• Final allegations: The defense of El Chicle raises the penalty for a possible wrongful killing and the prosecutor and the prosecution claim the reviewable permanent prison

Fernanda Álvarez Pérez, lawyer for José Enrique Abuín Gey, El Chicle, has been recognized on Tuesday as "frustrated" by the ten trial sessions against his client, in which he denounces that "there was no accusatory process, there was an inquisitorial process." It questions the entire process, in which the presumption of innocence has not been respected, but the defendant has already been considered guilty of the crimes of illegal detention, sexual assault and murder of Diana Quer attributed to him by the Prosecutor's Office and the private prosecution before even to judge him.

In its final report before the popular jury is deliberated about the accusations that weigh on Abuín Gey, the defense lawyer wanted to show all her respect to Diana Quer's family and her pain, but wanted to assess that "the pain permanent does not justify the permanent prison, the revenge, yes ", in allusion to the penalty that they request for the accused.

The defense acknowledges that his client killed Diana Quer and that he is the author of a homicide for recklessness or, alternatively, for a malicious homicide, but points out that for these crimes he should be sentenced to two and a half years or 5 to 7 years.

Very critical of the actions of the Prosecutor and the private prosecution, the defense attorney denounces that he has "prevailed the credible over the truth" and asked the jury that he must decide on his guilt that they use "the reason, not the heart", that no get carried away by the viscera, but by the evidence, because his accused "life imprisonment is played"

Fernanda Álvarez insists that "he is not at all insensitive to the pain of the family" and acknowledges that his client is guilty, responsible for killing Diana Quer and throwing his body into a well, something that "is horrible" and causes "pain infinite "in the family, but reminds the jury that" we are in a Rule of Law, we are not in the Middle Ages "and, therefore, this judicial process" is not about stoning a suspect. "

The "toxicity of the media", the "pressure and social misunderstanding" that he has suffered since on January 17, 2018, he took charge of the defendant's defense as a lawyer of the office shift starred in the final report of Fernanda Álvarez, which denounces that at this time he has "insulted and denigrated" as a person, as a woman and as a human being.

The lawyer also questioned the media coverage of the more than two weeks of trial, in which she even has. "deprived of name" to his defendant, in reference to the fact that his name is José Enrique Abuín and, nevertheless, he is designated as El Gicle and, in addition, "all media have treated him as a monster".

"It's The Chewing Gum, it is worth everything," he criticizes, referring to the fact that, in this trial, evidence has not been put on the table, but rather "assumptions" and "it has not been a fair procedure", but more appropriate Medieval justice that responds to an "obsession to condemn Chewing Gum, that monster without names and surnames."
