The Special Prosecutor Team notified Marcela Acuña this Friday of the impossibility of keeping Ricardo Osuna as defense attorney -who also defends César and Emerenciano-, under the argument that he raises “competing interests” in Article 129 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
In the MPF resolution it was stated that Osuna cannot maintain the defense of Acuña since she, expressly through her letters, held her son César responsible for the femicide “passional”– as described – by Cecilia Strzyzowski, and this contradicts the possibility of a strategic and effective defense for the 19-year-old. As a result, Acuña must be represented by a new lawyer or, otherwise, an official advocate will be assigned to you.
The rationale for this resolution also It has jurisprudence of the Superior Court of Justice. Osuna’s teamor have no choice but to abide by the resolutionor in any case, come up with an alternative strategy.
in dialogue with Chaco Newspaper the lawyer confirmed the situation and stated that “will not give up” before what, he accused, is a new measure that emerged from the prosecutors to make it difficult to defend the Sena family.
In this way, Osuna confessed that he is already in talks to get the representation of a new lawyer to represent Marcela Acuña. In the event that the offer is rejected, he told this outlet that It will break down the defenses. This means that will renounce the defense of César, and will only keep those of Marcela Acuña and Emerenciano Sena.
However, this would be the last measure Osuna would be pleased to take. It was Acuña herself who told her this Friday to continue representing César due to the bond that she had already managed to generate since he took office. Bearing this in mind, Osuna stated that, In case of renouncing the defense of the main defendant, he will be replaced by a lawyer from his own team.
On the other hand, a judicial source told Chaco Newspaper that this foundation of conflicting interests is expressly necessary to avoid encountering procedural obstacles in the future. “As a defense strategy, later they can ask you that A lawyer for César comes and asks us to nullify everything because he had no effective defense“, he claimed.
Thus, Marcela Acuña will continue to be represented by Ricardo Osuna until the lawyer decides a strategy to follow. There is no option or appeal that can be raised to annul this resolution of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, and in the event that the defense situation surrounding Acuña continues in the same way, they will intimate her again next week.
“My son was responsible, not us”and the phrase “Only the fact that my son Cesar tells the truth about what happened will make us have more expectations of achieving freedom” These are some of the most compelling pieces of evidence that the Prosecutor’s Office took as an argument to understand that Acuña blames César, while the young man still has not testified and his defense seeks to prove his innocence.
About how Osuna interprets what is stated in the Criminal Procedure Code, the lawyer said: “What she -Marcela- writes is not in the file. And if they wanted to validate that, they would have to do at least one calligraphic expertise to corroborate let it be her signature and handwriting. She does not say that in her statement. They – the Prosecutor’s Office – understand what they think, because it bothers them that I go out to speak in the media. All the other lawyers are silent.”
