Overview
- The defense withdrew its remaining witnesses on Friday, November 6, closing the evidentiary phase and moving the case to final oral arguments scheduled for November 24.
- Engineer Andrés Raggio testified that the Volkswagen driven by Felicitas Alvite was estimated at about 82–85 km/h at impact and that the prosecution’s reconstruction says she crossed multiple red lights during the route.
- State psychiatrist María Cecilia Rodríguez told the court that Alvite showed depressive symptoms tied to detention conditions and was worried about her public image rather than expressing clear anguish over the victim’s death.
- At the November 24 hearing prosecutors, the family’s lawyers and the defense will present their final arguments before the three-judge tribunal deliberates; Alvite remains in preventive detention under house arrest.
- The case turns on whether judges find proof of dolo eventual — that Alvite foresaw the risk of causing death and accepted it — a finding that carries an 8–25 year sentence if sustained and which the victim’s family and querella press the court to uphold.
