Penal - Rol O-7570-2023

This case summary details a simplified procedure for the offense of carrying a cutting weapon, as defined in Article 288 bis of the Criminal Code. The convicted individual is Jonathan Javier Henríquez Soto. The sentence was issued on October 3, 2024, by the Eighth Guarantee Court of Santiago. The facts established indicate that on December 3, 2023, around 1:00 AM, in Ñuñoa, the victim reported an assault by her partner using a knife. Authorities apprehended Jonathan Javier Henríquez Soto at the scene, possessing a 12 cm bladed knife without justification. He was subsequently detained. The legal classification is the crime of carrying a cutting or stabbing weapon, consummated as an author, under Article 288 bis of the Criminal Code. The imposed penalty is a fine equivalent to one-third of a Monthly Tax Unit (UTM). This fine was deemed satisfied by the pre-trial detention period served on December 3, 2023. The defendant was exempted from court costs due to admitting responsibility and avoiding trial. Any existing precautionary measures were lifted. The prosecution proposed a reduced sentence of one-third UTM upon admission of responsibility, which the defense accepted. The defendant confessed to the charges. The court approved the defense's request, acknowledging that the admission of responsibility led to a waiver of trial. Legal provisions cited include Articles 1, 14, 15, 25, 49, 50, 65 to 69, and 288 bis of the Criminal Code, as well as Articles 395 and following of the Code of Criminal Procedure. No suspension conditions or consequences of non-compliance apply, as the penalty was covered by the preventive detention. All parties waived their right to appeal.
