Penal - Rol O-3340-2022

This document summarizes a criminal case where the Public Prosecutor charged Luis Pascual Velásquez Hinostroza with simple threats in the context of domestic violence (VIF). The alleged incident occurred on June 19, 2022, at calle Santa Julia N°367, Osorno, where the accused reportedly threatened his nieces, Daniela Francisca Velásquez Cheuquián and Ingrid Margarita Cheuquián Alarcón, with phrases like "I'm going to kill you, motherfuckers, whores." The prosecution sought a conviction under Article 296 Nº 3 of the Penal Code, related to Article 5 of Law 20.066, requesting a sentence of 540 days imprisonment. The defense argued for the accused's acquittal, stating the facts were not proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The court ultimately acquitted the defendant, finding the prosecution's evidence insufficient and not corroborated. The mother of the accused testified denying the threats and calling the victims' statements slander. The court considered the victims' account of the threats lacking context and not leading to any change in their daily activities. The principle of reasonable doubt, as per Article 340 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, was applied.
