Do you have any idea how long Aduviri's trial might last before there is a final verdict?
Thanks.
Good question, thanks for asking, I should have elaborated more on that point.
Although it's hard to predict times, I assume this trial will last as much as the previous one; if that it's the case, then we would have a final verdict in about a year:
03/13/2017: Aduviri's first trial began (1). Prosecutor requested 28 years in prison, 21 years for the crime of aggravated extortion and 7 years for the crime of riots (2).
07/06/2017: Aduviri was sentenced to 7 years in prison for the crime of riots (3).
07/07/2017: Aduviri's defense appealed sentence (4).
12/29/2017: Appeals Chamber ratifies Aduviri' sentence (5).
12/30/2017: Aduviri's defense files an appeal for cassation before the Supreme Court (last instance).
10/05/2018: Supreme Court accepts appeal for cassation, annulling the first trial and ordering the a new trial (6). Supreme Court considered that the sentence did not comply with being duly motivated and the process leading to it did not respect the due process.
It must be mentioned that if Aduviri loses the trial (up to the last instance) then, according to the Constitution, the vacancy proceeds and new elections are called for the regional government of Puno.
