This Tuesday the trial that will determine the future of Daniel Sancho began. Rodolfo Sancho's son is accused of having murdered and dismembered Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta in Thailand. For this reason, he has been in Koh Samui prison since August last year until the judge issues a sentence.
A trial that is receiving the most media attention due to the interest that this case has generated over the months. So much so, that even HBO MAX has made a docuseries about this event, despite the fact that there is still no judicial resolution. Now that the witnesses from the first session have passed through the room, several details have come to light that have not gone unnoticed.
"In the morning, a Burmese woman, who works at the landfill where Edwin's remains were found, and the owner who rented the motorcycle to Daniel Sancho, testified. In the afternoon, two managers from the two hotels where the events occurred testified. "said a Let's See reporter from Thailand.
And it has been in these statements where several moments of tension involving Daniel Sancho have been experienced. And, as the law is established in the country, the accused can ask the witnesses whatever he wants. "He asked so many questions, even with inappropriate questions, that the judge caught his attention," the journalist revealed.
This fact has drawn a lot of attention to those present on the set, who have questioned whether a detainee could intervene in this way. Something to which Ramón Chippirrás, spokesman and legal representative of Rodolfo Sancho, has been clear: "It is something that we have been working on since we entered this case. We are in a country that has the Anglo-Saxon system and its Thai customs. Daniel has a voice and power to question witnesses".
Likewise, he has stated that all these questions that Daniel Sancho has asked and will ask during the trial have been expressly prepared by his defense team and are not at all the result of his impulsiveness.
Another aspect that has surprised the reporter who traveled to Thailand is that it has been a "tremendously busy first session." Starting with the statements offered by Daniel Sancho's Thai lawyer, that he "has been excessively cautious" and "has not said whether or not he trusts in the acquittal of his client."
On the other hand, if there is something in which they have been meticulous, it is the security controls, both at the entrance and inside. "The police and the judge were very obsessed so that no one had electronic devices," she added. Everything so that this high-profile trial turns out in the best possible way.
