Overview
- Prosecutors hold the child’s mother, Mariela Altamirano, and her partner, Maicol González, in preventive detention for six months on aggravated homicide accusations in Comodoro Rivadavia.
- Cinthia Fernández traveled to the city and appeared with Roberto Castillo, lawyer for the boy’s paternal family, using interviews and posts to urge the death penalty in what she called an irreversible case.
- Her visibility drew sharp pushback from media figures, with Yanina Latorre condemning a personal photographer at court and others saying the stylized coverage turns a killing into a show.
- Fernández defended her role as a mother and law student who wants visibility for the case, and she shared an AI-created image of Ángel with Lucio Dupuy that raised ethical alarms about fabricating images of minors.
- Alejandra Maglietti argued that publicity can keep sensitive provincial cases from fading, even as she called for restraint so pressure does not derail the judicial process.
