Overview

• Brenda Uliarte’s lawyers asked to suspend the criminal action due to her alleged incapacity, or alternatively sought acquittal for lack of proof, and in any case requested the statutory minimum sentence.
• The defense argued the case should be treated as an inidoneous attempt because the pistol had no round chambered and the magazine was not properly seated when the trigger was pulled.
• Counsel also urged sentencing mitigation based on a context of gender-based violence and Uliarte’s documented social and psychological vulnerabilities after a seven-hour closing before Tribunal Oral Federal No. 6.
• Nicolás Carrizo’s defense requested acquittal, contending there is no evidence he possessed or supplied a weapon and noting that neither the prosecution nor the querella are currently seeking his conviction.
• Earlier requests set the stakes: prosecutors sought 19 years for Fernando Sabag Montiel and 14 for Uliarte, the querella asked for 15 for both, and the court is expected to deliver its verdict in about two weeks after final statements.
