Overview
- Wednesday’s review hearing in Chalco to seek a change from preventive detention to house arrest was suspended after the Estado de México prosecutor failed to appear.
- The judge fined the absent prosecutor 20 UMAs (about 2,262 pesos) and rescheduled the proceeding for Thursday, Nov. 6 at 10:00 a.m.
- Defense filings cite the National Code of Criminal Procedure and medical reports, including an ISSSTE evaluation of uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes, to argue for home confinement.
- Family members say Carlota’s insulin dosage in custody has more than doubled since April, while supporters gathered outside the court calling for her release.
- The case stems from an April 1 shooting at a disputed property in Chalco that left two people dead and one injured; Carlota and two of her children face aggravated homicide and related charges carrying potential sentences of 40 to 70 years or life if proven.
