Penal - Rol N° O-65-2022

This document summarizes a criminal trial where the defendant, Cristian Antonio Rivas Sáez, was accused of robbery with intimidation. The trial took place in the Third Chamber of the Trial Court of Chillán. The alleged incident occurred on May 22, 2018, when the defendant allegedly took control of a vehicle belonging to Johana Luna Valdebenito. The defendant admitted to driving the car and using money found inside, but the court ultimately acquitted him of the charge of robbery with intimidation due to insufficient evidence. The prosecution failed to prove the elements of intimidation and the specific amount of money allegedly stolen. The defense successfully argued that the evidence presented by the prosecution was not enough to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The court also noted inconsistencies in the victim's testimony. The defendant was initially accused under articles 432 and 436 of the Penal Code, with the prosecution seeking 15 years in prison. The prosecution later suggested a lesser charge of simple theft (article 446 N°1 of the Penal Code), but the court acquitted the defendant entirely.
