Last Tuesday, April 9, the trial against Daniel Sancho for the alleged murder of Colombian doctor Edwin Arrieta began in Thailand. This legal process is especially important in this case, since the son of actor Rodolfo Sancho could be sentenced to the death penalty or life imprisonment if the prosecution proves that there was premeditation in the crime.
Although the young man confessed at the time to having ended the life of his supposed friend and that he has been in provisional prison for more than eight months for this reason, the strategy of his legal team is to try to prove that it was a reckless homicide and that, under no concept, there was premeditation.
The case has aroused general media interest and, although it is prohibited to record images or audio of the legal process, some of those present are leaking information to the media. This morning, the Aruser@s program shared with the audience some details of the case, such as that, during the last session, the judge called Daniel Sancho’s attention for asking ”inappropriate” questions.
The magazine presented by Alfonso Arús has also revealed that the accused goes to court every day handcuffed and with shackles on his feet, as well as that his head is completely shaved.
The La Sexta space has also explained that the trial is being slowed down by the issue of translation, since the interpreter has to explain to the accused what each of the people involved says, as well as having to share with those present. the opinion of the young cook.
”Now that glasses, earpieces… that translate what you want in real time into 50 languages… why are we wasting our time? Let them spend 300 euros (…) We are wasting our time, gentlemen from Thailand, it costs nothing and less,” Arús stated, giving a solution to said problem. Furthermore, Angie Cárdenas’ husband has reflected on how the judge should be, since, despite his orders of absolute secrecy, he is releasing all the information to the press.
Media attention to the trial has been increased by the bombshell news of the week: the HBOMax docuseries about the case. The platform has launched chapter zero, an episode in which Rodolfo Sancho speaks exclusively about the situation of his son.
Angie Cárdenas has echoed said documentary and has revealed to the audience that the actor from El Ministerio del Tiempo would have charged around 50,000 euros for said television appearance, money that would be used to pay the costs of the legal procedure in the Asian country.
