The family of the crime victim in Los Remedios is considering requesting reviewable permanent prison for the aggressor. After meeting with their lawyers, they are evaluating legal options to achieve the maximum sentence. The incident has shocked the neighborhood, where relatives seek justice given the severity of the crime and the suffering caused.
The criminal code and the limits of life imprisonment ⚖️
Reviewable permanent prison is applied in cases of murder with aggravating circumstances, such as sexual violence or the death of minors. Its judicial review occurs after 25 or 35 years of serving time. The court evaluates the rehabilitation of the convicted person, but the family argues that the crime in Los Remedios fits the legal assumptions. The final decision depends on the judge's interpretation and the evidence presented.
The AI of justice: cold calculations, hot sentences 🤖
While lawyers debate years in prison, a recidivism prediction algorithm could solve it: it would put the aggressor in a loop of virtual permanent prison. But since judges still don't use ChatGPT to hand down sentences, the family will have to wait for the criminal code, less flexible than an AI, to align with their demand. At least, the accused won't be able to appeal due to a software error.
