Fernando Sabag Montiel: is a cover change possible?
According to Poletti, in this case the change of cover would not come into consideration, since “adding more aggravating factors is for problems, because they have to be proven”. But it is clear what his intentions were. “I can clearly see in the video that there is a double action on the tail of the trigger. It’s like the gun is nodding twice on the face of the vice president, so I have no doubt that he wanted the bullet out“, held.
For his part, the criminal lawyer Silvina Rodriguez Rosarno indicated that a change in the cover would be “absolutely possible” and that could be classified as ‘Attempted femicide according to article 80, paragraph 11, aggravated by the use of a weapon, whose attitude to shoot has been confirmed’“, he explained.

“The most important thing to consider was the expected result, which was not carried out due to his own negligence. The result could not be carried out because he did not know how to handle the weapon. Among the sum of the longest sentences, he will receive a life sentence, without a doubt“, he concluded.
