Expel the accused of murdering his mother-in-law in Colonia de Sant Jordi from the trial
The accused had asked to speak to plead lack of defense after his request for a change of public defender was denied, but the court expelled him from the room for interrupting the oral hearing
PalmThe president of the Provincial Court's Jury Tribunal expelled from the trial this Monday the accused of murdering his mother-in-law in Colonia de Sant Jordi in September 2024.
It happened at the beginning of the oral hearing after the defendant asked to speak to "plead lack of defense" after his request to change lawyers, from the public defender's office, was not resolved in his favor. The President of the Court reminded the defendant that his request to change counsel had already been dismissed and that, if he wished, he would have the right to intervene and make relevant contributions on Wednesday.
The Magistrate reiterated to the man that if he continued to speak, he would be expelled from the room and returned to the holding cells. At that moment, the man stood up, which forced the agents guarding him to restrain him. At that moment, his expulsion was ordered and the trial continued with the absent defendant. The defendant returned about 10 minutes later on the condition that he remain still and silent.
It should be recalled that the defendant has been admitted to prison for a year and a half when the judge of Instruction Court number 3 of Manacor, on duty, ordered him provisional detention, communicated and without bail.
"When we arrived it was full of blood"
Several Civil Guard agents have declared that the accused of murdering his mother-in-law in Colonia de Sant Jordi in September 2024 came out to meet them at the scene with his legs and feet full of blood.
The civil guards who testified this Monday agreed that upon arriving at the scene, the accused received them in flip-flops and bloody on his legs and feet. According to what they pointed out, although he appeared nervous, but not aggressive, he only repeated phrases like "I didn't do it", "I warned you" and "you are mistaken".
The prosecutor is seeking 20 years in prison and the private prosecution is seeking a permanently revisable prison sentence for the accused.
During their testimony, several Civil Guard agents who took the testimony of the victim's daughter and the accused's ex-partner explained that the woman lived in fear and submission and that she even slept with her shoes on in case at some point she had to flee from the accused who killed her mother.
They also pointed out that she recorded conversations with her ex-partner in which he could be heard telling her that "she couldn't laugh because she had a bitch's laugh" or that "she was prettier when her father died".
