Marianne’s Account of Detention Prompts Outcry as Gilabert Shares Coma Ordeal and Signals Next Trial

The accused was released in July under a juvenile sentence with conditions, and proceedings tied to alleged accomplices are moving forward.

Overview

  • In a new video, Marianne described individual dorms, weekly therapy, and classes including music, cooking, and boxing during her time in a juvenile center, drawing sharp criticism online.
  • Valentina Gilabert posted a detailed video of her induced coma and intubation, recounting moments of partial awareness and the struggle to breathe through a tracheal injury.
  • Gilabert also shared a previously unseen ambulance photo on September 1 and said one trial had concluded while a case against another minor accused as an accomplice was set to begin.
  • Doctors treated more than 14 stab wounds, and Gilabert says she still faces lasting effects such as limited hand mobility, neuropathic pain managed with pregabalin, and short‑term memory issues.
  • Marianne was freed on July 23 after an abbreviated juvenile process that recorded a two‑year, eight‑month, 19‑day sentence with court‑imposed conditions, and Gilabert stresses her personal forgiveness was not a legal pardon.
