  • Trial. The prosecutor of the 'Maje case': "She dominated the criminal plan to kill her husband and did it for her benefit"

The account of the criminal action that, supposedly planned by

María Jesús Moreno

and executed by her lover

Salvador Rodrigo

, ended with the murder of her husband, has been reinforced today with the appearance of the forensic experts who carried out the autopsy and by different experts in psychological analysis that explored both when they were in prison.

Antonio Navarro, the victim, died of a "surprise" attack to which he could not react.

According to the account of the prosecutor, Vicente Devesa, the attack was carried out "treacherously."

Antonio, according to the distribution of the knife wounds on his body, died "without defending himself."

He did it at 7:30 in the morning on August 16, 2017, when he was going to get his car parked in the garage on Calamocha street in Valencia.

Salva was waiting for him there, hidden, armed with a knife and wearing gloves.

Don't expect it.

The attack was "standing up", face to face, with a first fatal tear in the heart, then in the lungs and other parts of the chest.

He died "quickly" due to the "destruction" of his vital organs, according to forensics who have appeared this Friday before the court of the jury that must decide whether María Jesús Moreno and Salvador Rodrigo are guilty of murder.

The day ran between different expert reports on the personality of both defendants, both at the proposal of the prosecutor in the case, Vicente Devesa, and

Salva's lawyer, Julita Martínez

, who requests the acquittal of her client alleging mental insanity.

Maje's lawyers,

Javier Boix and Alicia Andújar

also ask for the acquittal of their client, but they do not allege reasons related to his personality, but directly that he did not participate in or know about the plan of the executor, his lover.

In addition to the forensics who analyzed the body, they also testified expert psychologists who examined both and interviewed them when they were in prison.

"We see her as a normal person, who knows what she is doing in her life and does not present any type of decompensation," they have said about the widow.

"She was a stable person in her life," they indicate from the biographical data that she herself contributed.

She is a woman with nursing studies and no behavioral or drug use problems.

"It is not a question of a police interrogation, but we count and analyze what she tells us," they said.

Maje is "a strong person to withstand the pressure she is subjected to" who is "responsible" and "knows what she wants to do".

In conclusion, "there is no mental pathology", they have confirmed.

Therefore, both would be criminally imputable.

The report on Maje's personality

includes her description of the alleged ill-treatment she received.

She related that on a couple of occasions her husband slapped her and insulted her.

But the only person he told was Salva.

Maje also referred in the interview to her infidelities with other men, but she did not admit to her husband Antonio that he was unfaithful to her, but that it was some accusations that he made.

It is about a woman who shows "little emotional involvement" and affectively "distances herself from the things that surround her at a time in her life. It is her way of being, a characteristic of her personality."

Maje, in fact, is vitalist: "We don't remember that he cried, he told us that he wanted to live life when he got out of jail."

Regarding the facts, Maje told the experts that he assumed the cover-up but denied having planned anything.

He told them that he had arguments with his partner and suffered mistreatment on two occasions, but these extremes have not been corroborated.

He also told them several times that his mother is a friend "to whom he tells everything."

Salva's low "self-esteem"

José Miguel Ferrer, psychologist, and Cristina Escamilla, crimologist, psychologist expert in criminal profiles, have made the report on the part that Salva's lawyer has presented to support her defense arguments.

"We have come to the conclusion and that due to his need for social acceptance and extreme dependence on a dominant person who covers his deficiencies, he needs to do something to get his approval, and he realized that he should free Maje from the danger that she told him to. suffered ", they point out as a summary.

Of course, no expert has expressed doubts that Salva has perfect mental faculties.

"The conclusions we have reached are that Salva does not have antisocial traits and that his mental faculties are in perfect condition."

He would be, according to this report, "a caring person who will avoid conflict and who carries out impulsive actions out of his strong desire to obtain the approval of others."

Salva, according to these experts, "has very low self-esteem and feelings of contempt" and "little energy when facing a serious problem."

In fact, they maintain that it could not organize only a "sophisticated" action such as preparing the murder of a man.

Asked by the prosecutor, they denied that his behavior could reach pathological levels.

"The accused knew what he was doing at that time but it is so influential that he was thinking about something else," they have said.

Maje denied planning anything

On the other hand, forensics see Salva without any relevant psychiatric dysfunction or impairment in his ability to know the facts attributed to him.

"None of his traits becomes maladaptive, he does not have a personality disorder or any disease."

They do not consider him a dominant person, but a dependent person: "He is a rather passive person, rather dependent than dominant," they have explained.

In jail interviews, Salva denied Maje's involvement in the crime and was "cold and distant" about the murder.

According to the report, "he had a distant coldness."

Coroners who examined the defendant on behalf of his lawyer have identified him as an "extremely submissive and influential" person with dominant people.

In addition, according to his conclusions, he has a "need" for social approval: "He is a caring person, who avoids conflicts, is extremely dependent, submissive and has a strong desire to have the approval of others", they conclude.

And they assure that "he has serious difficulties to act by himself, he is very intimidated and coerces himself with the people around him."

The confessed murderer of Antonio Navarro "is a person with problems when it comes to managing his emotions and tends to overreact or inhibit his emotions so as not to overflow. He always sees the best in others and has moderate, rather low anger ".

And when asked why he could have committed the crime, forensics consider that he acted seeking "someone's approval or to free Maje from the life he was leading. His perception is that he was in a risky situation."

And when he did, "he was not aware of reality, he was thinking of something else."
