EDITORIAL GAYLES.TV.- The sentence read "in voce" by the magistrate in charge of trying those responsible for the death of Juan Andrés Benítez the 6 of October of the 2013 has opened a breach of confidence in the judicial process that has been followed and the well-founded suspicion that we are dealing with a case of police impunity disguised as legal arguments.
Recall that Benitez was a gay businessman Barcelona that the night of that fateful day discussed with a neighbor, a fact that caused the presence of agents of the body of Mossos d'Esquadra of the Generalitat. The result of the violent police reduction of Benitez was his death after suffering the brutality of the agents for a disproportionate time that according to the sentence could be 12 minutes.
The family of the victim will be compensated with 150.000 euros. The pact reached by the parties has meant the acceptance of the defendants of the prosecution proposal and the private and popular accusations. According to the 6 agreement, mossos have pleaded guilty to one felony offense for serious recklessness and one against moral integrity, implying a prison sentence of 2 years that will not meet, in addition to other measures of disqualification, suspension of employment and salary during the term of the sentence, prohibition of patrolling the neighborhood of Raval, where events took place and attendance at a human rights course. Of course, with the condition of not committing any crime for a while. Come on They linchan a citizen until death and they go of rositas with a “be good and read the declaration of human rights so that you do not get out of hand again”.
In the sentence you can read that the Mossos gave punches, kicks, pounding and kicking Benítez, holding him "in an excessive, disproportionate way, both in the temporal duration, which could be greater than 12 minutes, the number of mossos intervening -up to eight- as well as in the physical force exerted on the victim." All this caused a state of unconsciousness and subsequent cardiorespiratory arrest. But it is also that two agents have been convicted of obstruction of justice with 3 months of arrest. One of them for trying to clean the bloodstain left by Benítez on the ground with buckets of water and another for questioning the neighborhood about whether they had recorded the attack with their mobile and, instead of requisitioning it as evidence, forcing the woman owner of the phone to delete the recording in the presence of the agent. Come on, exemplary behavior.
But the worst thing is that with this agreement the agents avoid the trial, with a popular jury, and they deposit a blanket of silence on the corpse of Benítez and the impossibility of the many doubts that loom over what was clearly a lynching homophobic, can be cleared one day. So we will never know how many neighbors hide images of what happened due to fear of reprisals. Nor will we clarify whether it is true that the intervention of the health personnel who came to help Benítez was prevented. No room of view will hear the statement of a man who says that in the midst of the noise and groans of Juan Andrés he heard "Fagot, we're going to kill you!". That without going into the subsequent manipulation of the facts with questions such as that the family was not notified of the death until after 2 days, which has not been able to clarify whether Benítez died on the street or in the emergency room of the Hospital or that his own sister was prevented from seeing the corpse until after a week.
Nothing We will not know anything and nobody will really pay for anything. Leguleyos and politicians will try to satisfy the consciences with their slang and miter jargon while in the street the neighbors of Juan Andrés will continue crying justice to the cry of "police impunity" by "a fagot" dead to sticks.
