Penal - Rol N° O-449-2018

This case file outlines a simplified oral trial concerning Mario Orlando Alarcón Tudela, accused of threats against his ex-partner, Carolina Magdalena Cortés Tapia. The incident occurred on May 18, 2018, outside a convenience store in Los Vilos. Alarcón Tudela threatened Cortés Tapia, causing her fear. He was found guilty of consummated non-conditional threats, a violation of Article 296 N°3 of the Penal Code, within the context of domestic violence. The court sentenced him to 540 days of minimal medium-term imprisonment, with the suspension of public office during the sentence and a one-year restraining order. A notable aspect is the substitution of the prison sentence with partial nocturnal house arrest, monitored telematically. The court considered Alarcón Tudela's prior conviction for a similar offense as an aggravating factor. The defense argued insufficient evidence, but the court relied on victim and witness testimonies, as well as birth certificates establishing the relationship. The sentence reflects the severity of the offense and the defendant's personal circumstances, aiming for rehabilitation through the alternative sentence.
