The holder of the Criminal Court number 12 of Seville has condemned actress María León to pay a fine of 5,700 euros for the judge considers her author of a crime of resistance and another of mild injury, but acquitted that of disobedience. Against the appeal, appeal.
In her brief, the magistrate considers that the Sevillian interpreter “moved by the mood of opposing the police action and assuming thereby causing a physical impairment to the agent, struggled and threw a punch with the left arm to the agent on the right cheese, lost his balance and fell to the ground, from where he also kicked him while he kicked him at the same time, he was kicked. Zorra ”. He also considers that “again from the ground”, León “tried to avoid the agents, trying to flee them, until they reached her, retaining her against a fence, where the agent tried to put the shackles”, while she “shouted that they not touch her.”
That aggression happened shortly after León, along with other colleagues who were participating in the end of the filming party of a series, increase the agents for having stopped one of them, who drunk on a bicycle with a glass in his hand. The judge at all times adheres to the version that the three agents who exercised the private accusation offered, against that of León and the rest of the witnesses of her group, for understanding that “his story is detailed, coherent and coherent with each other in the essential aspects that affect the succession of the facts.”
One of those moments is when the police handcuff the actress. While the agents say she was standing, the defendants argued that she was on the ground, to justify the behavior of the actress. The magistrate believes that the coacked and witnesses “incurred contradictions on where they were exactly”, at that time and, in addition, it takes into consideration one of the admitted videos as evidence in which “the defendant of his feet is observed, so that, coinciding a large part of the witnesses in which she fell to the ground, it must be concluded that the images do not collect the sequence that it is not necessary for us, which does not meet the sequence that the sequence does not collect for us. support the exculpatory version offered. ”
Nor has the judge estimated the report of two psychologists stating that Leon suffers from claustrophobia, as she herself alleged during her statement in the trial, which took place on March 14. The actress said that, precisely, the aggression for which she has been convicted occurred, precisely, when the agents went after them when she escaped the police car in which they had introduced her to transfer her to police units and proceed to her identification, since she did not carry her with him when they asked.
To reject the exemption of psychological or exemption incomplete alteration by the state of anxiety, as requested by the defense of the interpreter for her claustrophobia, the judge also relies on the video that the actress herself recorded while she was inside the vehicle. “In the 3:01 minute of the recording you see your face, smiling, and does not seem altered, although it has more than half a minute inside the vehicle,” the letter picks up. The magistrate refers to another recording, already made on the journey of León to the police station, after the aggression to the agent, in which “an accelerated breathing is simply heard and say ‘how strong.” “For all the above, it is not possible to conclude in a taxative way, as the experts affirm, that the originator of the diagnosed stress was the first period of time inside the vehicle, and not the second, once its detention is produced, a situation that, on the other hand, could also be possible generator of anxiety or stress.”
León must pay a fine of 4,800 euros for a crime of resistance and another of 900 euros for a slight crime of injuries, attending the mitigating repair of the damage and, in addition, must compensate the injured agent with another 100 euros, which will be deduced from the amount of 150 euros that the actress consigned at the beginning of the oral trial. The judge has acquitted the other two defendants, who were charged with the three crimes as the interpreter, of all their positions.
