Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Valencia (TSJCV), by Jorge Ignacio Palma Jacome Completed murders of Arliene Ramos, Lady Marcela Vargas and Marta Calvo and the attempted murder of seven other women. At the open hearing, where the lawyers briefly presented their defense in much more detail in their own sources, the accused himself was present, was transferred from prison, and presented himself in an indifferent manner, as during the media trial that took place between June and June. July of last year.
Special accusation made by the offender Juan Carlos Navarro On behalf of the families of Arliene and Lady Marcela and the six survivors, it reduced the initial appeal from three to two reviewable permanent sentences. One is for the murder of Marta Calvo, the third in the series, as determined by law (seeking the highest sentence for murder for the first two deaths, something that’s already considering 153 years in prison for Palma).
The second reviewable permanent prison sentence he seeks would be for the death of Lady Marcela, realizing that she had fulfilled the legal assumption that she had killed the victim after committing it to her. a sex crime.
In the Marta Calvo case, Navarro stressed that the modality alleged by the judge in his sentence to avoid imposing a permanent review on Palma could not be applied in this case. “because of the space-time difference” which makes him a serial killer (he killed them for seven months knowing what he was doing) and not a serial killer (when deaths occur in a single act or several hours apart).
Thus, he referred to various court decisions. Supreme Court, but to focus on a recent article published in the same year that resolves the linguistic debate about the time used in the preparation of the criminal article “convicted person”. The aforementioned decision of the Supreme Court puts an end to this ambiguous statement and focuses on imposing a permanent prison, which can be revised according to the will of the legislator, whose main purpose is to punish the serial killer more severely.
for your part, Lawyers for Marta Calvo’s parents they repeat that crime against moral integrity for him hiding the young woman’s body and his “repeated refusal” to reveal his whereabouts.
In this sense, lawyer Pilar Jové, the lawyer of Marta’s mother, made it clear: defendant lied about how he disposed of the body to hide the evidence “We are as we are” [sin haber localizado el cuerpo tres años después] For the abuse of Palma Jacome’s presumption of innocence. The parents were unnecessarily harmed,” he insisted.
As for the reviewable permanent prison, both Jové and Marta’s father’s lawyer reiterated that it was appropriate to impose this for the murder of the young Estivella woman, as it was the third murder committed by Palma in seven months.
Vicente Escribano, a lawyer for one of the survivors, also opposed the objection made by the defense, as did other special prosecutors and prosecutors. It therefore reminded the Chamber that the jury had concluded guilty on the basis of valid evidence of the story of each of the survivors who reported that they were victims of the same facts that proved Jorge Palma’s indictment. “He used drugs as weapons and women as objects.” Similarly, it was stated that their statements met the parameters that could be considered as evidence of prosecution, since there were no contradictions in their statements, there was no false motive and they were supported by environmental factors.
