Final pain for Samuel Luiz: “No va a haber una sentencia perfecta nunca”

Cinco días encerrados a cal y canto en una sala de cuatro paredes deliberando acerca del assassination del Samuel Luiz. This is, above all, above all else. The famous jury had to make a transcendental decision: to dictate a verdict on a conspiracy marked not only by cruelty, but also by discrimination. El de un joven de 24 años al que le arrebataron la vida y al que le debía justicia tres años y cinco meses después de su muerte.

Public opinion and media pressure weighed heavily on the shoulders of the celebrity jury. In this context The discussions were not simple. “A pesar de lo difícil que ha sido, lo que hemos vivido no ha sido en fushuna. The fight for collective LGTBI rights does not end with this verdictbut we hope that it will serve to make us not doubt that homophobia is a reality that continues to cost lives”, says Ana García, president of ALAS Coruña.

Despite the aggravation of discrimination in Diego Montaña, it is known as a major component of criminality. “Si te matan al grito de maricón de mierda, es homofobia. It's final, probably.” Deja de grabar ir ver si te voy ir matar maricón“.

También coincidedieron con lo que había condo otro testigo, que dijo haber escuchado a accusado decir: “Quién le mandó al puto maricón metere en eso, si era un puto maricón”. With that, Diego Montana is found guilty of murder con alevosía y agravante de discrimination. “El caso era tan complejo que es understandable que no se pudiera resaltar la homofobia en los titules. Embargo of sin, es importante que reflexionemos sobre la violencia que se nega una y otra vez”, Ana García noted.

El papel del jurado popular and final verdict

García stressed that he has done his job well. “No va a haber una sentencia perfecta nunca. There were so many aristas in this case that it was difficult to find a solution that satisfied everyone,” he explained. This is about the acquittal of Katy Silva. Diego Montaña caused controversy by declaring his innocence. Esta escuchó al que era su novio pronunciar las palabras “maricón de mierda”, y sin embargo no intervino.

“Although not perfect, what we have achieved is an important step. Recognizing homophobia as an aggravating factor in punishment can be the basis for setting precedents in similar cases,” he commented. Ana García remembers the sentence as “big, intense and harsh”, but with something clear: “Lo que queremos es que esto no vuelva a subceder, pero si algún otro caso similar happens, esperemos que serva de lección y de precedente legal”.
