The idea of the defenders of Nicholas Pachelo was for him to answer the witnesses’ statements once a week, on Fridays, but he refused: “Because I forget”he said this Monday at the twelfth hearing of the trial where he is accused of the crime of Maria Marta Garcia Belsunce when he again asked to testify, yes, he again refused to answer questions from the prosecutors and the complaint, although he did speak about the day of the murder for the first time since the debate began.
“Our life was hell too, at a media and social level, was unbearable. I also had children to take to school, we ended up divorcing, we moved, I had a fight with my brothers and we closed the company. The burden was permanent, guards, photos everywhere and we had nothing to do with it at the judicial level because the family threw sandwiches “Pachelo complained.
His statements were given before the fourth intermission, when he began to recount how the days and months following the death of María Marta were, responding to each of the victim’s relatives who spoke about the ordeal they suffered after the accusations. “And I was not judicially involved.”
In this context, he referred to the identikit of the presumed woman dressed in pink who would have been at María Marta’s wake, and which was spread back in 2003, and that nobody knew: “The torture that we lived when the press published, half-screen, my wife’s face at my mother’s wake and the identikit. It was to divert attention.”
Pachelo decided to testify again in the trial where he is accused of having killed María Marta after the prosecutors showed a series of wiretaps of his talks with journalists between January and April 2003, in relation to his movements on October 27, 2002. and the differences in the schedules that came out of the country Carmel, and that are key. “I’m horny, I’m vehement and I don’t like to stay silent when something is wrong. I was able to say something to one or another journalist, yes, but with the desire that they leave us alone “was justified.
“For me, October 27, 2002 was a normal day, I went to play soccer, I went to look for my son”, narrated the accused and pointed out: “I had to rebuild my Sunday 50 days later. I knew that at 7:40 p.m. we had been in Paseo Alcorta because we went with my mom to buy my son a gift and I rebuilt backwards”.
