serial killer George Ignatius Palma’s photo.Sentenced to 159 years and 11 months in prison for the completed murders of Arliene Ramos, Lady Marcela Vargas and Marta Calvo and the attempted murder of seven other women, He returned to Justice City this Thursday to be briefed on extension of prison status until the penalty is finalized.
Jorge Ignacio Palma showed up in the City of Justice in Valencia after 10am this Thursday wearing jeans and a plaid shirt. serial killerprisoner 159 years and 11 months in prisondid not speak in the whole sight which was short lived. When asked if he wanted to say something or if he would like to consult his lawyer, he replied no, so he did not comment or make any explanations throughout the process. Asked for specific charges prolongation of detention the defense requested his release, arguing that, as there were appeals pending, the precautionary detention should not be an advance to the execution of the sentence.
The court, consisting of three magistrates, including one who presided over the jury and now delivered the appealed sentence, It will publish the decision, which is certain to be an extension of the temporary prison, in the coming days.
Given that he’s already in jail, it’s actually a procedural formalism. Until the conclusion of the trial, his status was like a temporary prison as he was not yet convicted, but preventive detention has already taken place, although it is not certain at the moment as it has been appealed both by his defense and on appeal. and three specific charges before TSJ.
Therefore, the Court called for the hearing, in which he was present this Friday, to extend the prison situation.
Inside December last year Palma has been subjected to a similar hearing before. At the time, it was a matter of extending the temporary prison status as he was still awaiting trial. The law allows for a two-year provisional prison sentence, which can be extended to two years. That’s what was done in December 2021, extending his prison term until December 2023 while awaiting trial.
Therefore, although in practice his permanence in prison will be guaranteed by this first extension, the same law, given that the procedural situation has changed, a person who has been convicted, as he is now no longer a prisoner (the person accused and awaiting trial) but unless the sentence is final it has to dictate a new extension with the current procedural state, which will continue.
This trial was therefore only a procedural step, but required the serial killer’s transfer from the Castelló prison, where he was held, to the trial in Valencia a few days before he could attend this trial. city ​​of justice.
