The trial on the merits for the tragedy that occurred at the Jet Set nightclub continues to advance at the National District Courthouse. The lawyers representing the victims have reiterated their firm commitment to achieving a ruling that sets a historic precedent in the Dominican judicial system, specifically focused on restorative justice.<\/p>\n\n
During the most recent hearing, attorney Massiel Moscoso detailed that the process has focused on the validation of evidentiary elements previously presented. The lawyer expressed her dissatisfaction with the defense’s tactics, which insist on filing motions and requests for expert opinions that have already been dismissed by the court.<\/p>\n\n
We are facing a restorative justice case whose petition was automatically denied. We have every intention and desire for a criterion to be established that sets a national precedent regarding this model of justice.<\/p>Massiel Moscoso, plaintiff attorney<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Seeking variation of the legal qualification<\/h2>\n\n
For his part, lawyer Jean Carlos Mart\u00ednez highlighted the magistrate’s stance regarding what he described as unnecessary delaying tactics by the defense. According to the jurist, the court has shown firmness in ensuring the speed of the judicial process.<\/p>\n\n
Mart\u00ednez confirmed that, in the next stage of the trial, the victims’ representatives will once again request a change in the legal classification of the facts. The objective is for the case to be tried under the category of voluntary manslaughter, based on eventual intent.<\/p>\n\n

- The request is based on articles 324 and 327 of the Criminal Procedure Code.<\/li>
- The Public Prosecutor’s Office and the plaintiffs have made significant progress in reading their opening statements.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n
