For this reason, he stated that does not believe in the defendant’s version, which stated that Emmily had suffered a “psychiatric break” and “was like possessed”.

According to that witness, at the party there was “vodka, cocaine and tusi -a synthetic drug-“.
“According to the story I heard, she looks out on the balcony but all the time she supported herself and asked the neighbors across the street for help,” added Arístides. He also maintained: “Emmily never used drugs. If she consumed, she was forced, I have no doubts regarding that. I was always very close to her. The first time she consumed alcohol was with me when she was already of legal age.

Doubts regarding “injury 18”
According to the report signed by the forensic doctor Héctor Di Salvo, the 26-year-old suffered 29 injuries, between bruises, traumatisms and fractures, which caused his death.

“The expert who did the autopsy, which is ultimately the only opinion that matters in scientific terms, concluded that there are no traces of injuries or defensive type marks“, said to telam criminal lawyer Rafael Cúneo Libarona, one of Sáenz Valiente’s lawyers, a businessman linked to agriculture.
In the results of the study, regarding this injury it is clarified: “excoriative and parchment area 13 by 9 centimeters, with drag pattern on thorax and abdomen right at the level of the right hypochondrium”.
According to the lawyer, that scratch, that dragging injury, “is indicative that she was resisting, leaning once morest the window, and ends up being pushed. If you want to throw yourself, you jump and jump headfirst.”
In turn, Dr. Trimarco highlighted that the first police officer from the 1A Neighborhood Police Station to arrive at the scene of the event, upon observing the window through which Emmily fell or was thrown, saw that the lower edge of the same “was damaged”. Beyond this interpretation, Cúneo Libarona stressed that the coroner who signed the autopsy recorded that it cannot be “affirmed with scientific rigor so-called ‘defense’ injuries stand out”.
