translated from Spanish: UC physicians sentenced in case Frei asked to void the conviction: they say that they were inspired “by a humanitarian sense and social solidarity”

The defense of the physicians Helmar Rosenberg Gómez and Sergio González Bombardiere formally requested the Court of appeals of Santiago the first appeal in the form to the judgment of the Minister Alejandro Madrid, who condemned them, together with other two doctors, in the first instance for simple killing of former President Eduardo Frei Montalva.
The argument delivered by Attorney Peter Brown was that “there is a homicide that has been able to participate. The judgment could not demonstrate that Mr. Frei’s death by a third-party action aimed to poison him. However, it condemns three people as authors and a fourth as an accomplice to a murder of Mr. Frei caused by surgical interventions performed poorly with intent to kill. “My understanding of the process prevents me from accepting this new hypothesis, and I am certain of that she will not prosper in the High Court”.
Brown added that the judgment of Madrid “suffers from Vice, not containing the considerations which are given by tested or untested facts that Dr. Rosenberg and Dr. Gonzalez argue in his defence to deny their involvement in the alleged killing of don “Eduardo Frei Montalva”.
The same document states that “the decision to condemn for concealment appears as free, devoid of factual and legal reflections that hold it”, as reported by the newspaper El Mercurio.
“It was inspired by a humanitarian sense behavior and social, selflessly made solidarity and in the best possible way, depending on the circumstances: the corpse of Mr. Frei should be exposed for three days at the Metropolitan Cathedral in the” funeral tribute, and to make it possible, it was an embalming; that is, the necessary procedure to slow the natural decay of the body”, he said.
