The fifth postponement request The trial of a lawyer from Ourense accused of swindling almost 28,000 euros from a client has been denied by the Provincial Court, as the fourth trial was also rejected. First, the court-appointed lawyer requested the suspension after alleging that he wanted to participate in the strike that the group has been carrying out since November, but the court considered that this was not appropriate. Now, the court is relying on a coroner’s report to rule out suspension due to the lawyer’s health problemsa reason that the court had accepted in November, when it agreed to the third of the three trial postponements issued since March 2023.
None of the defendant’s pathologies prevent him from attending and appearing at the trial, says the Institute of Legal Medicine (Imelga).
