This Wednesday the second day of the trial against Daniel Sancho for the crime of Edwin Arrieta took place. A case that is being closely followed in Spain and about which new information does not stop coming out. Therefore, it is not surprising that the judge is taking more and more measures to try to keep them at bay. Although on Tuesday he banned any electronic devices, this time he wanted to put a sign at the entrance.
“Only authorized people related to the cases can enter the room. People who wish to record images or sounds must wait outside,” the court said in response to the avalanche of press present. And it is exactly at the door where the parents of the accused have not hesitated to speak out.
Early in the morning, Rodolfo Sancho was the first to arrive at the facilities, in the same way as he did on the first day. This time, he has not hesitated to speak clearly and calmly to the press. “I treat you with education and respect and I expect the same from you, so please don’t block my way, let me pass, don’t push me, don’t trip me…”, he expressed.
And, although he has tried to control his reaction, he has not hesitated to send a warning to everyone present. “In this country it is prohibited to record people in public and take photographs. Let’s not have a problem,” he declared in the middle of the avalanche of journalists. With this, he asks that they not chase him around the island.
But this time it was surprising to see Daniel Sancho’s mother, Silvia Bronchalo. And the thing is that on the first day she did not appear at the court, despite being already present in Thailand. Although she did not say anything at her entrance, during her break a forceful phrase could be heard before she entered one of the cars: “No one has won here, we have all lost.”
Some statements that have attracted attention, although they have not been surprising taking into account the development of events during all these months. What he did miss was not seeing the defendant’s mother on the first day of the trial.
Carolina Castro, Bronchalo’s lawyer, did not hesitate to give the reasons for his absence from the TardeAR program. A major reason that is related to her state of health. “He’s not going through a good time, in addition to other tangential circumstances, which don’t help either,” she said.
Silvia found herself in a moment of indisposition that prevented her from being able to go and support her son on this first important day. Even so, today she has not missed the appointment. One in which a total of four new witnesses have testified: the manager of the restaurant where Daniel forgot the backpack with the knife, the woman who rented him the kayak and the clerks at the stores where he went to shop.
