Horacio García Belsunce: “The ruling is shameful, they killed María Marta again”

María Marta García Belsunce’s brother, Horacio, described the ruling as “shameful”, after the magistrates decided not to convict the former neighbor and main defendant for the murder, which was committed in October 2002 in the Carmel country of Pilar. We didn’t have a film of the moment Maria Marta was being killed. Maybe they wanted that,” Horacio García Belsunce after the ruling for the third trial of the crime. This is a disgrace. These two sons of bitches, they killed Maria Marta again,” said the lawyer and communicator in reference to judges Osvaldo Rossi and Esteban Andrejin, who “are not worthy of the investiture they have.” We didn’t have a film of the moment Maria Marta was being killed. Maybe they wanted that,” Horacio continued, ironically, in press statements gathered by the agency. Telam. What the sociologist’s brother is referring to is the evidence presented by the family, to which Rossi “did not even pay attention to what the witnesses were saying.” They had everything to convict Pachelo, but not only did they not convict him for the homicide but, in addition, they gave him a ridiculous penalty for the robberies; This was disgusting. “This (for the acquittal) happens because there are judges who are not worthy of the investiture they have. They do not have eggs to go against the corporation of (prosecutor Diego) Molina Pico onwards, of all the judges who made us responsible for this barbarity and who, later, did not have the eggs to repent and say ‘we were wrong’. It is a shameful corporation that was not able to accept its mistakes,” he said. The Oral Criminal Court 4 of San Isidro also consists of the participation of Judge Federico Ecke. Meanwhile, Pachelo was sentenced to 9 and a half years in prison for aggravated robbery in several closed neighborhoods. It was the third trial for the crime of García Belsunce, after the acquittal of widower Carlos Carrascosa – accused by prosecutor Molina Pico of “cover-up” and then as “author” in 2016. It followed the hypothesis that Maria Marta found Pachelo stealing from her house. Given this, he was accused as the author of the crime, along with the former guards of the private neighborhood, José Ortiz and Norberto Glennondos, indicated as co-authors. So far the crime remains unpunished.
