Forensic Panel Says 'Pity' Álvarez Is Fit to Continue Trial

The Cuerpo Médico Forense report gives the court the medical basis to decide whether to resume the homicide trial on Friday, October 9.

Overview

  • The Cuerpo Médico Forense delivered a nearly 30‑page interdisciplinary report on Tuesday, October 6, concluding that Cristian 'Pity' Álvarez is medically apt to face the ongoing trial for the 2018 killing of Cristian Díaz.
  • Two peritos appointed by Álvarez's defense took part in the evaluation but recorded a formal disagreement and signed the act in total disconformity with the CMF conclusions.
  • Prosecutor Sandro Abraldes had submitted three audiovisual records for the experts to review, including a televised phone interview with Moria Casán, material the CMF said helped assess Álvarez's reasoning and communication.
  • Álvarez remains interned at the Solar Colonial psychiatric clinic after a transfer from Hospital Tornú, and the CMF recommended specific containment and supervision measures if he must take part in hearings remotely.
  • The Tribunal Oral N°29 summoned the parties for Friday, October 9 at 11:30 a.m. to decide whether to resume the debate and what procedural safeguards will be required, with the court weighing past 2021 and 2023 neurocognitive reports that previously led to suspensions.
