In an unexpected turn, Judge Ignacio Racca cited the famous phrase from Uncle Ben to Peter: “With great power comes great responsibility.” However, Judge Racca emphasized that the ruling was not based solely on the fame of the accused, but on the evidence presented and the relationship between the accused and the victims.
The phrase “with great power comes great responsibility” is a quote from Spider-Man's Uncle Ben in the Marvel comic series. However, in this judicial context, it takes on a deeper meaning.
Judge Racca highlighted that the media nature of the case required careful and responsible handling by the judicial system. He stated that although the facts were not as serious as they might seem, the notoriety of the case required a decision grounded in ethical principles and that protected the rights of all those involved.
During the trial of the singer L-Gante, whose real name is Elián Ángel Valenzuela, at the time of reading the sentence, the magistrate made considerations about L-Gante's role and sentenced the artist to three years of conditional imprisonment for offenses of threats and illegal deprivation of liberty. The case of L-Gante captured media attention due to the singer's notoriety and the severity of the crimes he was accused of.
In his words, Judge Racca stated: “With great power comes great responsibility, and in this case, the responsibility to ensure a fair trial and protect the parties involved falls on the judicial system.”
