Overview
- On the fourth day of the trial in the Audiencia Provincial de Burgos, José Luis Novoa testified and the jury viewed video of the strike captured by nearby cameras.
- Novoa recounted heavy drinking, described a brief street exchange before the blow, called his action the worst decision of his life, and said he left without grasping the severity.
- Court testimony detailed that he initially denied being at the scene to police before admitting he punched Sergio Delgado in a later interview.
- Forensic doctors stated the death stemmed from a traumatic head impact after the punch, while noting that elevated alcohol levels impeded resuscitation and were emphasized by the defense.
- Local merchants in Las Llanas say nightlife has largely returned to routine even as the hearings refocus public attention on the area.
