The Court of Cassation confirmed the life imprisonment sentence for Lucas Azcona for the femicide of the Chilean university student Nicole Sessarego Borquez, in 2014 in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Almagro, whose case had great repercussion after the dissemination of images from 19 security cameras that they captured the convicted man stalking his victim to the building where he murdered her, which allowed his identification and subsequent arrest. Judges Gustavo Bruzzone, Eugenio Sarrabayrouse and Horacio Días of Chamber II rejected the proposal of the official defender and ratified the sentence of the Oral Criminal Court (TOC) 15 of Buenos Aires. In the Cassation ruling - to which Télam had access -, Judge Bruzzone said "that the events in which Azcona was involved are of a seriousness commensurate with the sanction of life imprisonment that the legal system provides for the combination of crimes for which, finally , He was sentenced". "Contrary to what the party maintains, the court did sufficiently address the issue of the compatibility of the prison sentence with the international human rights system, so the conventionality control claimed has been satisfied," he said. The defendant's defense considered in the appeal "that Azcona's condition as a 'schizoid' patient was not taken into account, which should have served as a factor reducing guilt." Furthermore, the lawyer indicated that "life imprisonment was applied to Azcona, with the understanding that, due to the personal conditions of the accused (his mental pathology), the sanction imposed was evidently disproportionate." He also estimated that the sentence imposed would make it impossible for him to obtain conditional release, which was ruled out by Chamber II.
