The lawyers for the family of musician Walter Armand, who died after being hit by Felicitas Alvite, known as 'La Toretto', have appealed the decision that granted her house arrest and have requested an investigation into the judges who made the ruling. House arrest, which has not yet been granted, may face delays or even be reversed after Armand's family filed an extraordinary appeal for inapplicability of the law.
Lawyers Delfina, Julio, and Fernando Burlando, representatives of Segunda Nieves Zelarayan, a relative of the victim, have been the ones to file this appeal. The goal is to reach the Bonaerense Supreme Court with a document that challenges a decision made by the Criminal Cassation Court of Buenos Aires Province, questioning the decision of the higher court. The request is based on the annulment of a previous decision related to Alvite's preventive detention, which they consider 'absurd, arbitrary, and a violation of constitutional and conventional rights'.
In a final part of the document, the affected party specifically makes an additional request, asking for testimonies from the presentation to be sent electronically to the Undersecretariat of Disciplinary Control of the SCJBA and to the Permanent Secretariat of the Jury of Impeachment of Magistrates and Officials of Buenos Aires Province.
