Overview
- The term is 53 years and 8 months following a penalty hearing held Tuesday at 5 p.m. at the Río Nuevo Justice Center.
- The judgment orders a fine of 350 UMAS (about 36,000 pesos) and restitution of just over 524,000 pesos to the victim’s family.
- Prosecutors sought the 60-year maximum to establish a precedent for gender-based killings, while the defense argued for the minimum citing a lack of additional proof at the hearing.
- Judge Gerardo Aceves Salazar said the sentence would fall between the midpoint and the maximum, with the rationale to be detailed at the scheduled reading.
- After years of litigation, Daryela’s mother, Elvira Rocha, said the decision delivers justice and allows her daughter to rest in peace.
