A new week of the trial of Daniel Sancho for the alleged murder of Edwin Arrieta began. It is expected that on Wednesday, May 1the accused from his statement and try to convince the judge that he did not commit this crime with premeditation.
Even a new turn of events could directly affect the Prosecutor’s Office, since a few days ago, the prosecutor expressed his uncertainty about the outcome of the trial. “The prosecutor himself told us journalists without cameras yesterday that it is being very difficult to prove this premeditation.”said a reporter from the program ‘Let’s see’.
On the other hand, the newspaper ‘La Razón’ has released new information about this same person, which could hint at a possible pact between the Prosecutor’s Office and Daniel Sancho’s defense.
It is worth mentioning that the turn in the case is mainly due to the difficulty in proving that Daniel Sancho planned the murder of the Colombian surgeon. This is crucial to determine the final sentence, which could vary between returning to Spain or facing the death penalty.
On the other hand, there are many things that are difficult to clarify, one of them is the autopsy, since it does not show the cause of death. An independent police forensic doctor suggested that the wounds and injuries to Arrieta’s skull could be the result of a fight admitted by Daniel Sancho.
Now, the defendant’s statement is awaited to see how this may change the course of the trial. His father, present at all sessions, will be absent that day to avoid contaminating his own statement.
