translated from Spanish: Chocobar stated, at the trial against him, that he “did his duty”

On Wednesday, the third oral debate hearing was held for the trial of Luis Chocobar, the policeman who killed a criminal who had stabbed a tourist in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of La Boca in 2017.As reported by Fernando Soto, one of his legal representatives, the cash was only limited to testifying before the Oral Court of Minors 2 that he “did his duty and with the regulations of shooting training”. It should be remembered that Chocobar has a double accusation: on the one hand that of the prosecution and, on the other, of the complaint of the family of John Paul Kukoc, the young man chocobar murdered. The prosecution’s proposed is “aggravated homicide in excess of the line of duty,” which includes five years in prison, and kukoc’s family complaint is “aggravated homicide,” which provides for life imprisonment.

“They asked him about his personal conditions, the complaint wanted to move forward on the question of training and we said he’s not going to answer it for now, because we want to listen to witnesses and experts,” Soto said of the third hearing.” We want to prove that there are training manuals and regulations, but it’s not a personal issue, it’s a matter of fact, and we advise you not to testify about it for now,” the lawyer continued. At the start of the court, former Security Minister Patricia Bullrich backed up cash again with a photo posted on social media.
