Overview

• In the latest hearing, builders who were at the home said they drove the boy to the hospital, observed dried blood on his ear in the vehicle, and later noticed blood on the family car’s hood and in other areas.
• Those workers and other witnesses described the child as afraid of his mother and recounted seeing him with prior injuries and doing tasks they considered too heavy for his age.
• Lidia Raquel Cardozo is on trial for homicide qualified by the bond and aggravated minor injuries, having declined to testify as the court replayed her earlier investigative statement asserting an accident.
• The Cuerpo de Investigaciones Fiscales autopsy found a severe traumatic brain injury from a puncture‑penetrating head wound caused by a blunt object, which prosecutors say undermines the fall narrative.
• The proceedings are scheduled through September 9 before Judges Leonardo Feans, Martín Pérez and Francisco Mascarello with about 60 witnesses expected, and a conviction could carry life imprisonment.
