According to the information collected by the media ’20 minutes’, they highlighted as “exceptional” the change in the order of the witnesses who were going to testify, since Sancho was listed first and now they want to give way to the testimony of two police officers proposed by the defense. Even more, It is considered “strange” that the defendant’s statement is postponed until next week due to problems with the air conditioning.

It is speculated that Sancho preferred to postpone his statement to first listen to the testimonies of the witnesses. Furthermore, “They have changed the translator from English to Spanish and have given it one they trust. Now the air conditioning thing happens, coincidentally when the Spanish lawyers of the Arrieta family are in Koh Samui,” says the spokesman for the Arrieta, Juan Ospina, as compiled by the aforementioned medium.

Likewise, he commented that “it draws powerful attention that the vice consul of the Spanish embassy is staying in a hotel to accompany Sancho in all sessions of the trialalong with another translator from the embassy”.

Also surprising is the change in position of the prosecutor in the case, Jeerawat Sawatdichai, who previously affirmed premeditation in the murder of Edwin Arrieta, but now seems to doubt it.

On the other hand, Ospina raised suspicions about the privileges that Sancho enjoys in prison: “He’s supposed to be in the infirmary because he has back problems, but he practices Muay Thai every day.”

The central question in the trial revolves around whether there was premeditation in the alleged murder of Edwin Arrieta, since the severity of Sancho’s sentence depends on it. While the prosecution and the co-prosecution maintain premeditation, prosecutor Sawatdichai has expressed doubts about it.

Sancho’s defense argues that it was a homicide in self-defense after a fight between the two, which, if accepted by the court, could avoid the death penalty, since the maximum sentence would be life imprisonment according to Thai law. The Spanish lawyers for the Sancho family hope to prove a lack of premeditation so that Sancho will be sentenced to prison and eventually extradited to Spain.
