The Legislature today approved the project to incorporate an article into the Criminal Procedure Code of Río Negro that establishes that once a judicial resolution is issued, All challenges filed subsequently, whether by the accused, the prosecutor or the complainant, will have a devolutive effect.

He narrated that the accused teacher was convicted by the Rio Negro Justice and 7 years passed until the Supreme Court of Justice rejected the last appeal presented. At that time, the teacher walked among the victims and relatives “as if nothing had happened.”
