The investigation into Zapata Quintos's feminicide is ongoing, with the case file being continuously updated. Contreras Lรณpez expressed confidence in the judiciary's swift and appropriate actions, stating that the decisions made are based on legal truth rather than public perception or social media narratives. She noted that there is sufficient evidence within the investigation file to support the judicial decisions made so far.
There are various complaints. You will understand that the limitation of information has to do, and I appreciate the support of such serious media that understand and comprehend that the limitation of information has to do precisely with bringing those responsible to justice in due course for the acts committed.
While the court supports the rulings made by the presiding judge, Contreras Lรณpez acknowledged that such a painful event for society can lead to various interpretations. She assured that the judge's actions are subject to review by a judicial discipline tribunal, which will examine any potential grievances from the involved parties. The focus remains on establishing the legal truth and bringing the responsible individuals to justice.
The legal truth is what is being analyzed, it is what is being carried out precisely, or what is leading justice to those responsible. There is sufficient data in the file to support the decisions.
