A popular jury must deliver justice in the case of Johan S., the young man who confessed to having stabbed to death his ex-girlfriend, Claudia, 17 years old, in Totana in February 2022. The Court of First Instance and Instruction number 3 of Totana has already urged the continuation of this procedure before the jury court.
In a record, to which LA VERDAD has had access, the magistrate also orders that both the statement given by the accused, Johan S., and the numerous videos that the young man recorded, once the crime was committed, be transcribed, confessing the crime. stroke. «This is not something sexist. I just did it because I don't know. “I have always wanted to kill someone,” he confessed in one of those recordings.
The transcription of these videos, requested by the prosecutor, was agreed to by the investigating judge at the beginning of this month. Two days later, however, a decree from the lawyer for the administration of justice of this same body assured that there is no place for the transcription of this evidence. This professional explains, in her letter, that what the Prosecutor's Office wants “is not a guarantee of public faith” but rather “a copy of such document on paper for the purposes of mere functional convenience.”
The lawyer for the administration of justice emphasizes that, for this work, “merely judicial assistance,” the Public Ministry already has its own personnel. She emphasizes that court workers “cannot and should not carry out a task that is neither their obligation nor part of their duties” and warns that taking on this task “would mean an absolute paralysis of the court.”
“Very toxic relationship”
The investigating judge has also agreed on some final steps before closing the investigation of the case. He orders that two friends of the victim be summoned to testify as witnesses. One of them already declared before the Civil Guard that the teenager had a “very toxic” relationship with Johan S. and that he “had control of her all the time in her way of dressing, telling her not to wear one type of clothing or another.” because I was fat. The other witness explained to the investigators that the two young people had broken off their relationship but that Johan did not accept the breakup.
Claudia's relatives, represented by criminal lawyer Raúl Pardo-Geijo Ruiz, will try to get the young man sentenced to 25 years in prison.
