The popular jury is made up of 15 personas, only 12 will vote at the end of the trial. «You are not judges who investigate, you are judges who listen and see. In a joint deliberation they will define if Cronenbold is guilty or not. Try to make an effort not to get carried away by emotions, by hurting the family or compassion for the accused» declared the technical judge Guillermo Baquero Lazcano to the jury.

During yesterday’s session The parties offered their arguments, the prosecution and the complaint maintain that it was Fernando Cronenbold who killed Patricia Rendón. While the defense says that although he was at the scene, he was not the one who killed her.

An eye inspection was also carried out by the city of Catriel, In addition to going to the place where the body was, the defendant also toured the house where, according to the theory of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, he killed her with an accurate blow to the back of the head. The tour was requested by the defense to support his theory of the facts that at times lost balance before the questions of the chief prosecutor Gustavo Herrera.

Yesterday he testified again until she began to cry while she recounted her version of what happened to her. “Enough is enough,” said Antiguala to end an interrogation. The debate continues today at 8.30 with the declaration of several witnesses.
