Sena Family Lawyer Detained Over Alleged Juror Filming During Strzyzowski Jury Selection

Authorities seized his phone for forensic review under rules that protect juror anonymity.

Overview

  • Proceedings paused around midday on the second day of jury interviews in Resistencia as Judge Dolly Fernández ordered the lawyer’s removal from the room.
  • Chaco police chief Fernando Romero said the attorney appeared to sweep his phone across the panel after all parties were warned that recording jurors is forbidden.
  • The phone was confiscated for analysis and the case was placed with Prosecutor Ana Graciela González de Pacce as the attorney faces an alleged disobedience offense.
  • Reports diverge on whether he remained in custody or was released shortly after, and he was barred from continuing to participate in the selection session.
  • The popular jury will comprise 12 principal jurors and 6 alternates with about 17 hearings planned on charges that name César Sena as the alleged killer, his parents as primary participants, and four associates for aggravated cover-up.
