Overview
- The Supreme Court voted not to exercise its facultad de atracción on Monday, so the amparo filed by influencer Rodolfo “Fofo” Márquez will be returned to the originating collegiate tribunal for ordinary resolution.
- Márquez remains under a final state-court sentence of 17 years and six months for feminicidio en grado de tentativa related to a February 2024 parking-lot attack captured on video against a woman identified as Edith “N”; the judgment includes court-ordered monetary reparations for the victim’s psychological treatment.
- Only two ministers, Yasmín Esquivel Mossa and Lenia Batres Guadarrama, voted to attract the case, while the majority concluded the file did not meet the exceptional threshold the Court requires to create binding national doctrine.
- News outlets report Márquez continues serving his sentence in a state penitentiary, with published accounts naming either Molino de Flores in Texcoco or the Barrientos prison in the State of Mexico.
- The decision leaves unresolved a wider legal question sought by a Second Circuit collegiate tribunal about when violent attacks on women should be treated as attempted femicide and signals that lower courts will still grapple with setting those criteria case by case.
