Lawyer Juan Carlos Saife presented his resignation for “strictly personal” reasons as private defender of the detainee Marcela Acuña, mother of the main accused of the femicide of Cecilia Strzyzowskiwho disappeared on June 2 in Resistencia, Chaco.

“The reasons are strictly personal,” he explained this afternoon to telam the lawyer, who clarified that he will continue to be the defender of Acuña’s husband, Emerenciano Sena, also detained in the case as a co-perpetrator of the crime.

“This noon I presented the writing of my resignation and that of my partner, now the prosecutor’s team has to accept it and she will look for another lawyer. And until another lawyer accepts the position, or names an official defender, I continue to be her lawyer”, said Saife, who, in turn, reiterated that Sena Sr. “is innocent” of the accusation that the prosecution made against him.

“I have been reading criminal files for forty years and I have some ability to assess the evidence. My opinion is that there is not a single piece of evidence that can associate Emerenciano Sena with death,” he considered.

as far as he could tell Clarion, the lawyer Ricardo Osuna, who defends César Sena, son of Marcela and Emerenciano, will replace Saife. Mother and son will then share a lawyer.
