Penal - Rol N° O-178-2019

This document details a simplified procedure case heard by the Juzgado de Letras, Garantía y Familia de Chaitén. The case involves the defendant, Juvenal Enrique Galindo Díaz, charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. The incident occurred on May 11, 2019, in Palena, with blood alcohol levels recorded at 2.47 and 2.68 grams per thousand. The court found the defendant guilty of violating Article 196 in conjunction with Article 110 of Law No. 18.290, sentencing him to 41 days of minimum-grade minor imprisonment, a fine, and a two-year driving license suspension. Due to the defendant's health condition (chronic rheumatoid arthritis) and his admission of responsibility, the court granted a substitute penalty of 41 days of partial nocturnal house arrest. Mitigating factors considered were collaboration and reparation of damage. The defense argued for these mitigating circumstances and the house arrest due to the defendant's health, renouncing conditional release. The prosecution presented the case based on the driving under the influence charge. Key to the decision were the defendant's admission, the alcohol test results, the applied mitigating factors, and the substitution of the prison sentence with house arrest.
