The wife of the Prime Minister has pointed to Judge Juan Carlos Peinado for focusing the investigation on her marital bond with Pedro Sánchez. Her defense, led by former minister Antonio Camacho, has filed an appeal with the Provincial Court of Madrid to annul the instructor's decision to submit the case to a popular jury. The document criticizes the judge's lack of reasoning and denies any relationship between Sánchez's presidency and Gómez's professional activity.
Artificial intelligence and judicial resource management in high-profile cases 🤖
The implementation of AI systems in the administration of justice could optimize the selection of cases for a popular jury. Algorithms trained with jurisprudence and procedural data would allow evaluating the relevance of submitting a case to this court, reducing subjectivity in decisions. However, the lack of transparency in Judge Peinado's criteria reminds us that technology does not replace judicial reasoning, a basic requirement now being questioned in this case.
Begoña's defense: when marriage is the only crime 😅
The defense strategy seems to boil down to a simple argument: if your last name is Gómez and your husband is president, you are a suspect. Judge Peinado, for his part, keeps looking for the crime like someone searching for wifi in a cave. Meanwhile, Camacho's appeal requests nullity, as if the judge had confused a trial with a casting for Big Brother. In the end, the only proven link is the marital one, and that, in Spain, is not a crime, even though it sometimes feels like a sentence.
