Penal - Rol N° O-477-2018

This document details a judicial process involving Pedro Pablo Galarce Arredondo and Vanessa Andrea Pavez Zúñiga. The case, RIT 477-2018, was heard by the Tribunal de Juicio Oral en lo Penal de Rancagua, with a sentence issued on June 12, 2019. The core of the case involved the theft of a Chevrolet Dimax vehicle. The victim pursued the perpetrators, identifying Pedro Pablo Galarce Arredondo and Vanessa Andrea Pavez Zúñiga in a Chevrolet Captiva (PPU JBWC-69) that was escorting the stolen vehicle. Upon apprehension, the police found the accused in the Captiva, along with a backpack containing tools for burglary, such as lock picks and screwdrivers. Pedro Pablo Galarce Arredondo was convicted for possession of burglary tools under Article 445 of the Penal Code and sentenced to 61 days of minor imprisonment. Vanessa Andrea Pavez Zúñiga was acquitted of the same charge. Both were also acquitted of vehicle theft. Galarce Arredondo's sentence was substituted with a conditional suspension for one year, and he received the accessory penalty of suspension from public office. The tools found were confiscated. Galarce Arredondo, aged 33, had no prior criminal record, while Pavez Zúñiga was 20 years old. The court considered Galarce Arredondo's clean record as a mitigating factor. The prosecution argued for conviction based on material and testimonial evidence, while the defense sought acquittal, citing insufficient proof of participation and questioning evidence validity. The court's decision hinged on the proof of Galarce Arredondo's possession of burglary tools and insufficient evidence against both defendants for the vehicle theft itself. Relevant legal articles include those concerning burglary tools, authorship, participation, and conditional sentence suspension.
