In the case of the crime against the teenager Lara Fernández in Lomas de Zamora, the prosecution and the plaintiffs requested that the three accused be sentenced to life imprisonment. During the trial, the crime of retired Hugo Domato, which occurred in La Matanza days later, was also framed. Gonzáles and Strassera are charged in this case, who is also linked to criminal acts in Avellaneda.
The prosecutor detailed that there was a common plan among the accused to commit crimes, where the minor was the one who fired when difficulties arose, trusting in his impunity. A life sentence is requested for homicide criminis causa in real competition with armed robbery. The plaintiffs also support this request.
The defenders of the accused requested a conviction for aggravated robbery due to the use of a firearm in a populated area and in a gang. The verdict will be known next Tuesday, November 19, after the arguments from the prosecution and the plaintiffs seeking the maximum penalty for the accused Maidana, Gonzáles, and Strassera.
The trial, which began on November 6 in the Oral Criminal Court (TOC) 5 of Lomas de Zamora, focused on determining the participation of the accused in the murder of Lara Fernández. It is expected that once the arguments are concluded, a date will be set for the Court to present the grounds for its verdict and sentence.
