Jury Deliberations in Cecilia Strzyzowski Femicide Trial Resume After Delay

Jurors reconvene after Judge Dolly Fernández provides a case synopsis with the allowable verdicts.

Overview

  • The citizen jury paused Friday without a decision and will resume deliberations at 8:00 a.m. Saturday in Chaco.
  • Under provincial procedure, the panel must reach a unanimous verdict.
  • Seven people are on trial: ex-partner César Sena, his parents Emerenciano Sena and Marcela Acuña, and Griselda Reynoso, Fabiana González, Gustavo Obregón and Gustavo Melgarejo.
  • Defense lawyer Ricardo Osuna said jurors "did not reach an agreement" and suggested there may be internal divisions among them.
  • In their final statements, Acuña declared innocence and alleged political manipulation, Emerenciano Sena asserted innocence, and César Sena chose to remain silent.
