Penal - Rol N° O-167-2018

This document details a simplified oral trial (Juicio oral simplificado) at the Seventh Guarantee Court of Santiago (Séptimo Juzgado de Garantía de Santiago) concerning a traffic accident that resulted in serious injuries. The accident, which occurred on November 6, 2017, involved a collision between vehicles driven by Francisco Javier Nahuel Paredes and Héctor Garrido Muñoz, leading to a third vehicle overturning and injuring a pedestrian, Luis Sánchez Mendoza. The original charge was a quasi-crime of serious injury caused by a motor vehicle. The prosecution requested a sentence of 300 days, suspension of driving license for 2 years, and suspension of public office. However, the court acquitted the defendant, Francisco Javier Nahuel Paredes, citing insufficient evidence to prove that he ran a red light. The court relied on witness testimony suggesting the other driver disregarded the signal and questioned the validity of the SIAT expert report due to its reliance on statements rather than technical evidence. The court concluded that guilt was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The case number is RIT 167-2018 and RUC 1810000858-7. The plaintiff is Janina Valencia Trujillo.
