The experts confirm that the victim of Paterna's crime had five pellets hosted in the heart

The third session of the jury trial held this week at the Audience of Cádiz to determine whether the man accused of killing his brother -in -law in paternal with a hunting shotgun had or not intended to kill him faced his final stretch on Wednesday with the practice with the practiceof the expert evidence and the final conclusions of the Prosecutor's Office, the private accusation and the defense.

During the development of this session, the expert who performed the body's autopsy confirmed that the victim, Juan Colón, died after receiving a shot with a shotgun of pellets, which caused important injuries that gave rise to "a functional destruction" ofvital organs, such as heart and lungs.

According to the coroner, Juan Colón was extracted five pellets housed in the central part of the heart and many other embedded in two lungs.Those wounds, he stressed, were "incompatible with life".He also spoke of a "dispersed pellet rosette", about 50 centimeters in diameter, located on the left posterior flank, which led him to dictate that the shot that the victim received "was not frontal, but lateral, although in thesame plane of support "."The shot does not come from above or from below," he stressed.

After studying the dispersion of the pellets in the body, the expert shuffled the possibility that the shot that ended Juan Colón's life would occur "long distance", understanding as such a length "from a and a half meter"."From the forensic medical point of view, a meter and a half is already considered long distance," he insisted.

The expert offered this data to the jury in a very graphic and pedagogical way for its best understanding.Thus, the members of the Popular Court paid close attention to their explanations, not so much the accused, who at all times kept his gaze on the ground while on a television the images of the autopsy report were viewed.

To the third session of the oral hearing, the specialist who prepared the part of the defendant's nephew, who was supposedly also attacked by his uncle with the same weapon on the day his father died, his father.Although at the beginning of her intervention she housed doubts, the coroner concluded that the prosecuted nephew received two shots and not one, as evidenced by her wounds.

The defendant's nephew, he said, had several pellets housed in the lower lung, which caused a small pneumothorax."A pneumothorax occurs when the air leaves the lung to the thoracic cavity.It can cause death, but in this case it did not happen that way because the injured received rapid medical assistance, "he argued.

The expert also indicated that the defendant's nephew suffered other impacts of pellets in different areas of the body (thighs, buttocks, arms, scalp) as well as an anxious depressive disorder following the event lived."Even today sequelae persists, both psychic and physical," he said.

Finally, all the parties appeared in this procedure raised their conclusions to definitive.The Prosecutor's Office maintained its 26 -year prison request for the defendant as the author responsible for a crime of murder and a crime of attempted homicide with abuse of superiority.The private accusation, exercised by the family of the victims, modified his initial brief and raised the sentence for the defendant as the author of a crime of murder and two crimes of attempted murder with alevosía, an aggravating man who added at the last moment and that, however, it did not mean a change in his first prison request, 44 years in total.The defense, as in the first session of the trial, recalled that the defendant has not denied at any time the authorship of the shots but the intention of killing their relatives with them.That is why a condemnation of a crime of homicide and another of injuries in which the attenuating outburst.

The popular court will receive the object of the verdict next Friday.It will be then when the deliberation that concludes if the defendant begins, in preventive detention for almost four years, is guilty or innocent.
