Citizen Jury Seated for Sena Clan Trial in Cecilia Strzyzowski Femicide

Opening statements start Friday in Resistencia under strict anonymity rules after a defense lawyer was detained for allegedly recording jurors.

Overview

  • After three days of screening at the Gala convention center, 12 jurors and 8 alternates were selected to decide the case.
  • Hearings move to the Centro de Estudios Judiciales for weekday sessions expected to run through November 20.
  • Prosecutors allege César Sena is the material author of a triply aggravated homicide, his parents are accused as co-authors, and four others face aggravated concealment charges.
  • All seven defendants remain in custody as more than 50 witnesses are slated to testify under the oversight of technical judge Dolly Fernández.
  • Jurors must deliver a unanimous verdict, and if they find guilt, the judge will impose the sentence within the penal code’s parameters.
