Who is Juan José Fenoglio?
Fenoglio is a doctor legal medicine specialist and resides in Escobar, province of Buenos Aires, according to their social media profiles. she led the private clinic Fatima of that town at least until 2019, considering that from the hospital they confirmed to PROFILE that he no longer holds that position. In addition, according to his presentation before the Oral Court of Dolores, he assured that He has practiced the profession for 42 years and it is also expert in pathological anatomy and graduate in forensic sciences.
Throughout his extensive career as a forensic expert, Fenoglio witnessed some of the cases that most resonated with society, such as that of Nora Dalmasso, a femicide that occurred in November 2006 that continues unpunished. In 2007, when it was still being investigated Marcelo and Facundo Macarron, husband and son of the victim, for the DNA samples obtained by the justice system from the skin cells they had found at the crime scene.
For prosecutors, the testimonies of the rugbiers are “insufficient” and “they fail to refute the evidence against them”
At that time, Fenoglio explained that the samples had been taken from Nora’s body and from the sheets. Likewise, he disagreed with the thesis of the prosecution that they pointed against Macarrón Jr. and asserted that the genetic test to prove his participation in the crime “was weak.” The work was carried out together with another of the experts summoned for the investigation, Raul Torrewith whom he would later share another resonant case later: the reproduction of the circumstances of conservation of the corpse of María Marta García Belsunce.
“Together with Dr. Juan José Fenoglio, Specialist in Legal Medicine and Specialist in Pathological Anatomy, we carried out experiments to reproduce the circumstances of conservation of the corpse of María Marta Garcia Belsunce, trying to determine the presence of glues that blocked the entrance holes of the projectiles that they kill him,” said Torre in 2020, who on several occasions publicized the work that brought him together with his colleague.
Among them, the investigation of the origin of Carlos Gardel also stands out from the comparison they made of the fingerprints of documents from 1904, from the escape from home; from the 1915 file; and from the passport he took out in 1923.
Fenoglio’s statement in the trial for the crime of Fernando Báez Sosa
The medical examiners Juan José Fenoglio and Jorge Rodolfo Velich, proposed by the defense of the defendants, testified this Wednesday, January 18, before the Justice for the trial that investigates the crime of Fernando Baez Sosa. The professionals questioned the autopsy performed on the victim and maintained that “the liver injury was caused by the resuscitation work”.
“Liver injury may be due to crushing caused by resuscitation”Fenoglio detailed about the CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) work carried out by the doctors who attended the young man murdered on January 18, 2020 in Villa Gesell. “We found literature similar to this type of breakage”added the specialist.
“It’s from crushing, if it had been a blow it was different,” he said, pointing to the autopsy images on the liver that were displayed on the screen of the room of the Criminal Oral Court No. 1 of Dolores.
“Here we have a patient with 60 seconds of beatings and 45 minutes of CPR. There are injuries that occurred when the patient was alive, are the ones that caused his deathThe other 45 minutes may seem vital, but whether they are the product of resuscitation or those injuries should be investigated,” he explained.
In another stretch of his testimony, Dr. Fenoglio maintained that “The autopsy does not explain why Fernando Báez Sosa died”. In this sense, he stressed that the report must “determine the cause and mechanism of death, and the mechanics are not described”. In addition, he considered that the injuries that Fernando Báez Sosa had on his face “they were light” caused by “paws and paws” and what proof of this is that there were no fractures.
