INFO FIGARO – The plaintiff's lawyer had requested on appeal to be able to present new documents from medical experts. Request rejected this Friday. The dismissal hearing could be held as early as next week.
Every day has its own twist. On Thursday, the provincial justice of Mendoza confirmed to AFP that there would be no dismissal hearing this Friday, and that “first the appeal must be resolved” presented last week, during the procedure, by the plaintiff's lawyer, Natacha Romano. “Then there will be a hearing.”

In this case, new statements from medical experts presented by the defense of the alleged victim calling into question Von Willebrand disease, a hematological pathology which can promote the appearance of bruises.
