the Supreme Court of Justice of the nation (SCJN) decided to co-opt two legal motions to review judgments against 19 defendants in the case of the fire of the ABC daycare in Hermosillo, Sonora, in June 200 9, which resulted in the death of 49 children and left 43 injured.
The plenary of the first room attracted the protections 2018/222 and 223/2018, on the proposal of the Minister Jorge Mario Rebolledo. One of them was filed by defendants, while the other was driven by parents of the victims calling for higher penalties against those responsible.
The 19 sentenced have been punished for offences such as manslaughter and negligent injury. However, the Supreme Court, said “before the number of taxable persons, managers were sanctioned in accordance with the ideal of crime competition rules because, with a single behavior, each defendant committed several unlawful acts”.
A collegiate court in criminal and administrative matters was who requested the intevención of the Court, because it was considered that it would set guidelines to follow regarding the criminal liability for makers of security measures in Mediterrenean nurseries of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS).
He also explained that the delay of more than eight years in the case has failed to resolve “with the character of res judicata” the responsibility of the sentenced.
The Court said it will analyze the protection promoted by the defendant, because the mechanism by which is imposed the sentence resulted in penalties which rose considerably.
