The prosecutor in the Samuel Luiz murder trial compared the five accused in his death to a “pack of wolves.” He described what happened as a “group attack” and “inhumane” with the “active participation” of “everyone”. He defined the young man who admitted to launching the attack, Diego MM, as an “alpha male” and who he recognized as grabbing the victim by the neck from behind, Alejandro FG, as “the leader’s lieutenant.”

“A three-minute attack over 150 meters,” he summarized, insisting that there was “intent to kill,” reports Europa Press. “They were aware that with the action they were taking there was a high probability that he would die,” he concluded during the presentation of his final report to the jury court, in which he spoke of the accumulated injuries to the victim’s head and the bleeding they caused.

“Everyone,” he stressed, participated in a “surprise attack” and “no defense option” for the victim. He thus ruled out that what happened could be considered a fight: “We are talking about at least seven people against one. »

On the penultimate day before the magistrate hands over the subject of the verdict to the popular jury – which will take place on Monday – the prosecution and the accusations presented at the trial maintained the requests for sentences between 22 and 27 years in prison for the five accused. For the initiator of the attack, thinking that the victim was recording him, Diego MM, and for his then girlfriend, Catherine SB, 25 years in prison are required for murder with treason and cruelty and aggravated discrimination due to sexual orientation of the victim. . In the case of the young woman, they propose a subsidiary qualification of accomplice to the crime of murder for having “facilitated the actions” of the other people involved. In this case, the proposed sentence is 14 and a half years.

Alejandro FG, known as Yumba, and Kaio ASC are attributed “active participation” in the events, for which they are seeking 22 and 27 years in prison respectively. For the second, it is five more years because the crime of violent theft of the victim’s cell phone is added.

For Alejandro MR, whom witnesses placed at the heart of the attack, but did not see him hit, they are asking for 22 years in prison. As in the case of Catherine, they introduce a possible subsidiary qualification of accessory to murder which would result in a sentence of 13 years in prison.

Defenses, meanwhile, lower grades and penalties in their considerations. Diego MM’s lawyer believes that the facts should be considered as homicide for serious recklessness and an offense of injury, punishable respectively by two years and one year in prison. If this is not taken into account, it alternatively requires homicide with aggravated abuse of superiority, accompanied by a sentence of ten years in prison.

The defenses of Alejandro MR, Catherine SB and Kaio ASC maintained their request for acquittal of the crime of assassination. The lawyer for the first of them mentioned a subsidiary offense of injury. Kaio’s defense admitted the appropriation of a cell phone, but denied knowing that it belonged to the victim and required a property offense for this.

Alejandro FG’s attorney argued that the mitigation or defense of psychological impairment due to mixed personality disorder and hyperactivity, in addition to intoxication due to alcohol and cocaine consumption this that day, is present. In his case, he mentioned a crime of injury and, if not estimated, homicide by recklessness or involuntary manslaughter. He indicated that he does not see any aggravating circumstances, but that if there were, it would be an abuse of superiority.
