Overview

• Tribunal Oral en lo Criminal y Correccional Nº11 is set to issue its decision after four months of hearings in the 2023 Palermo stabbing case.
• Before deliberations, defendant Isaías José Suárez used his final words to assert that he is innocent.
• Prosecutor Nicolás Amelotti charged homicidio agravado criminis causa and requested prisión perpetua.
• The evidence includes a DATIP-compiled video map from thousands of cameras, a knife recovered with the victim’s DNA, and a dog-walker who called 911 and later identified the suspect.
• The defense argued the footage is too unclear to identify Suárez and sought acquittal or, failing that, a simple homicide conviction, while records show prior convictions for similar robberies in the same area.
