Rosa Acón, aspirante a magistrada de Sala III: ‘Cuando hay errores graves deben sancionarse y no escudarse en la independencia judicial’
Full story
Rosa Acón, a criminal judge and substitute magistrate, addressed the limits of judicial independence. She stated that judicial independence should not be used as a shield to justify decisions that lack supporting evidence. The magistrate argued that serious errors within the legal process must be sanctioned. She believes that treating judicial independence as an unquestionable principle can lead to a lack of accountability.
La jueza penal y magistrada suplente afirmó que la independencia judicial fue tratada como un principio incuestionable, pero sostuvo que no debe servir para justificar resoluciones que no encuentran respaldo en las pruebas.
