SANTO DOMINGO – The Court of Appeals has overturned the previous sentence against Dominican baseball player Wander Franco, ordering a new trial in the case involving him.
The decision was made after the player’s defense presented several appeals, which were accepted by the court. This ruling means that the case will restart from scratch, marking a new development in the shortstop’s legal situation.
Franco, considered a prospect for the Tampa Bay Rays in Major League Baseball, has seen his career affected while the judicial process advances. The announcement from the Court of Appeals is a significant change in the record, which has generated interest both in the Dominican Republic and in the world of professional baseball.
In the coming days, the dates and procedures for the new trial will be established, and the judicial authorities will formally notify the parties involved.
