Expectation at the doors of the Court
With fifteen minutes left until the verdict is read, the expectation at the doors of the Provincial Court of La Coruña is absolute. Numerous media outlets are awaiting the arrival of the two accused who are free, and who have not yet arrived at the judicial facilities. Everything is ready to know the decision of the popular juries, which has the approval of the presiding judge regarding its motivation.

A complex verdict
The nine members of the court have had to answer a hundred questions about the participation of the accused in the savage attack that ended the life of Samuel Luiz in La Coruña in July 2021. It is a long and complex verdict because there are five defendants, but also because of the number of alternative sentences that the accusations and defenses have introduced into the subject of the verdict to try to tie a sentence in accordance with their interests. They must also consider possible mitigating circumstances: two defendants allege that they were drunk, and one of them was also drugged.
