The new defense lawyer for Pau Rigo, the retiree from Porreres who shot and killed the thief who broke into his house, presented a brief this Tuesday morning before the presiding magistrate of the popular jury court asking for your acquittal and annulment of the verdict of guilt that was issued on Friday. The lawyer Jaime Campaner remembers that the jury’s conclusion was reached by five votes in favor and four against, which was not enough to find him guilty.
At the Palma Court, where he attended accompanied by his client, Campaner praised the defense of Fernando Mateas, who has represented Pau Rigo throughout the process, and stated that now “this is a new stage.”
The lawyer has asked the court “for suspension of any procedural deadline until the incoming lawyer has full access to the present proceedings and to the recording of the oral trial”, so that “mainly he issues an acquittal sentence with all the pronouncements favorable to Pau Rigo Llaneras, or as a subsidiary he decrees the annulment of the verdict and the repetition of the oral trial before a different jury court”, as stated in the appeal presented and to which Ultima Hora has had access.
