The condemning period of Facundo Chavez’s preliminary began on Monday, August 7, when relatives took the testimony box. Chavez’s mom, cousin, and himself asked the jury to save him from capital punishment.

Chavez’s mom affirmed before the jury that his dad had been vicious towards her and had once sent her there with a cracked jaw. She depicted how he constrained her kids to watch the vicious demonstrations.

Chavez was welcome to talk about his initial years when it was his chance to take the testimony box. Furthermore, he said that surrendering drugs had assisted him with facing how he had treated Herrera. He announced that he currently values the worth of life and told the jury, “He (Herrera) didn’t merit any of this. I made this bad dream, I ended his life and it was too soon.”

At the point when the time had come to report the decision, everybody was forewarned by the preliminary’s adjudicator, Diane Navarrete, to control their feelings in the court. At the point when the decision was reported resoundingly, the audience was quiet. Chavez had no apparent response to the jury’s activities.
