On the reasons for the decision, which will be detailed in depth in the sentence, Judge José Pérez pointed out that the main evidence was illegally obtained.
“The serious inconsistency in the only evidence that could place someone inside the Pedreros Metro station carrying out the behavior described (the burning) was preferred in the chain of custody, which would have been lifted without knowing by whom, from where, at what time “said the magistrate.
In addition to the acquittal, a civil lawsuit was rejected and the release of both defendants was ordered. The communication hearing of the acquittal will be next Tuesday electronically.
