Overview
- A three-judge tribunal found López Zavala guilty as the intellectual author, and also convicted Jair N. and Silvestre N. as the material perpetrators.
- Prosecutors say he directed the attack and supplied the gun and motorcycle used in the May 21, 2022 killing in San Pedro Cholula.
- The oral trial spanned about eight months and roughly 80 hearings after delays that drew criticism from the family and women’s rights groups.
- Feminist collectives accompanied the case throughout, and the proceedings helped propel the proposed “Ley Monzón” to strip parental rights from convicted feminicides.
- Puebla Governor Alejandro Armenta publicly denied any interference and called for strict application of the law.
