Long day at the Neonatal Hospital trial
The day, which began around 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, was marked by displays of grief for the murdered babies.
There were photos and t-jerseys with the children's faces and themed balloons.
Amid that wait, on the third floor the jurors proceeded to the decision together with the court composed of judges Patricia Soria, José Daniel Cesano, and Laura Huberman.
In addition to announcing the decision regarding the criminal charges for the 11 defendants, the reading of the verdict took several minutes to present the conclusions regarding the multiple civil actions.
Moments earlier, Dr. Soria, president of the court, gave extensive thanks for the development of the complex process and was even moved during her message.
