Doña Carlota could avoid jail; her lawyers claim to have evidence in her favor.

The woman known as the 'justice grandma,' Doña Carlota, 74 years old, might avoid jail due to her health condition and evidence

The case of  Doña Carlota, a 74-year-old woman from Chalco, has caused a profound social and legal debate. She is currently in preventive detention along with her children, following a confrontation that occurred on April 2 inside her home. The events, still under investigation, suggest that  the three defended their home against an alleged illegal occupation resulting in the death of two men.
