The testimonial phase of the trial that has been ongoing since Wednesday for the accident that cost the life of a young man from Zamora in July 2018 in Nalda has closed this Friday with the statement of the accused, who has denied suicidal intention in his … behavior, although he acknowledged that he did not remember anything “either about the trip or the accident.” “I never said I wanted to commit suicide,” he has defended despite the fact that her ex-partner, during the hearing, stated the opposite.
In response to questions from the Prosecutor’s Office and the private prosecution, he revealed what he had done the day before the fatal accident (“I drank until four in the morning, strong drinks like gin, whiskey…”) and even hours before the accident. “Some of them have reminded me, things that people have told me,” she added.
But nothing about the accident. The public prosecutor’s office has asked her why she could not remember what happened when the doctors assure that she does not suffer from amnesia problems. “I was in a coma for 22 days, with multiple head injuries,” he responded.
Two other aspects that were most influenced during his brief statement were whether he had permission to take his father’s vehicle (for which civil liability is requested) and whether he drank and took drugs on a regular basis. Regarding the first, the defendant has said that he “routinely stole the car” and that he had a copy of the key. “My father didn’t know he had it,” he alleged. Regarding his drug use problems, the young man from Soriano has rejected being a polydrug addict (“it’s a very strong word”), but he has admitted to drinking and taking drugs occasionally.
After the accident, he explained that he does not take a car because his license has been withdrawn but that right now he is “terrified” of driving and that his life has changed a lot, that he has stopped being “conflictive” and that he lives and takes care of his father. , seriously ill.
Finally, he sent a message to the victim’s family, who has followed the development of the entire trial with regret. «Her death hurts me a lot. “It causes me anguish and depression that will never go away,” he said before asking for forgiveness for making gestures during the trial, when there was talk of the deceased’s positive result for cannabis and which visibly angered the family. “I’m sorry, I was startled,” she concluded.
