Jury Convicts César Sena and Parents of Aggravated Femicide in Cecilia Strzyzowski Case

The unanimous decision by a sequestered jury now moves the case to a sentencing hearing before Judge Dolly Fernández.

Overview

  • The 12-member panel unanimously found César Mario Alejandro Sena guilty as the author of aggravated homicide for kinship and gender-based violence, a verdict that carries life imprisonment under Argentine law.
  • His parents, Emerenciano Sena and Marcela Verónica Acuña, were unanimously found guilty as primary participants in the same aggravated homicide.
  • Associates José Gustavo Obregón and Fabiana Cecilia González were convicted of aggravated concealment, and Gustavo Melgarejo of simple concealment, while Griselda Lucía Reinoso was acquitted and ordered released.
  • Jurors deliberated across Friday and Saturday under strict isolation measures, including hotel lodging and no outside contact, before reaching unanimity.
  • Formal sentences will be imposed at a forthcoming hearing, following a trial that drew large demonstrations outside the Resistencia judicial center.
