Overview
- Marcela Acuña, on trial in the Cecilia Strzyzowski femicide, attacked five guards in Resistencia’s women’s unit on November 5 and was moved to solitary, with officials reporting minor injuries to the agents and sending a disciplinary report to the courts.
- Acuña filed complaints accusing provincial officials of corruption, warned she fears for her life, announced a hunger strike, and faces possible new sanctions while a provincial torture‑prevention committee weighs oversight of her detention conditions.
- The Strzyzowski jury trial in Chaco is advancing faster than scheduled, with 25 of 53 witnesses already heard and closing instructions and deliberations expected as early as November 12 if the timetable holds.
- In Whitestown, Indiana, prosecutors are reviewing whether to charge a homeowner in the fatal shooting of María Florinda Ríos Pérez, with Boone County’s top prosecutor noting Indiana’s castle doctrine could complicate any case.
- New jury trials opened on severe violent‑crime cases elsewhere, including police accused of torturing two teenagers in Mar del Plata and the Los Yesos double‑murder case in Granada, with another triple‑murder jury proceeding underway in Guadalajara.
