Emmanuel’s lawyer questions defense’s contradictions before the judge

Contradictions in Lenin Núñez’s defense following the assault on Emmanuel Contreras

The legal team representing the family of Emmanuel Contreras Medina has issued strong statements questioning the public stance taken by the defense of Lenin Jhericop Núñez de León, the main defendant in the case of the brutal assault suffered by the young man. According to the plaintiff’s lawyers, there is an evident discrepancy between what is argued to the media and what was actually presented before the judge during the judicial hearing.

The family’s lawyer emphasized that, during the court proceedings, the defendant did not deny having used a bat to strike Contreras Medina. Likewise, he noted that Núñez de León also did not refute the fact that the Dominican authorities had maintained a search warrant against him since last July 3rd.

Discrepancies between the public and judicial versions

For the victim’s legal representation, it is questionable that the defense is attempting to position a different narrative before public opinion. “They did not dare to say before the judge the things they are saying here in the press,” the jurist stated, underscoring that the procedural reality of the case is more compromising for the accused than his defenders are trying to project.

They did not dare to say before the judge the things they are saying here in the press.

Key points of the judicial process

• The Public Prosecutor’s Office already had prior knowledge of the complaint and the formal accusation filed against Núñez de León.
• The departure of the accused from the country is being questioned, despite the fact that he was perfectly aware of the legal situation and the investigation pending against him.
• The victim’s family maintains its demand for justice and transparency in the handling of the case file.

This case remains under the scrutiny of the Dominican justice system, while the relatives of Emmanuel Contreras Medina insist on the need for all the facts to be clarified and for the corresponding sanctions to be applied for the assault that has left society awaiting an exemplary judicial resolution.
