Penal - Rol N° O-144-2018

This legal document details a case concerning assault resulting in serious injuries. It outlines the tribunal, case numbers, and dates. The facts establish that on September 3, 2017, Yerka Nathalie Torres Ojeda assaulted Patricio Bernardo Díaz Bravo at a bar in Puerto Natales by throwing a glass, causing significant facial lacerations that required over thirty days to heal and resulted in a similar period of work incapacitation. The offense was classified as serious bodily harm under Article 397, No. 2 of the Penal Code. Torres Ojeda was sentenced to 800 days of medium-term minor imprisonment, with the accessory penalty of suspension from public office. She was granted a conditional remission of the sentence. The defendant, Yerka Nathalie Torres Ojeda, was 32 years old and a merchant with a prior conviction for minor property damage. The court considered her remorse and partial restitution for medical expenses as a mitigating factor, while rejecting an aggravating circumstance related to the victim's sexual orientation. The prosecution sought a harsher penalty for aggravated grievous bodily harm, including the discrimination aggravating factor, but the court downgraded the charge to serious bodily harm, finding the victim's disfigurement was not notorious and that the assault was not motivated by sexual orientation. The defense successfully argued for mitigating factors and conditional remission. Key legal provisions cited include Article 397 No. 2 of the Penal Code, Article 11 (mitigating circumstances), Article 12 No. 21 (discrimination aggravating circumstance), and Law No. 18.216 (conditional remission). The sentence is subject to the defendant reporting to the Penitentiary Center of Gendarmerie Chile. No appeals were noted.
