The decisive moment in Koh Samui
The Court of Koh Samui is preparing to make public the verdict on the case of Daniel Sancho, a moment that will mark a before and after for the families involved. The sentence, already drafted, will be revealed on August 29, but the emotional weight of this event is palpable.
Absence of the Arrieta Family: A Deep Pain
Despite the importance of the moment, Edwin Arrieta’s family will not travel to Thailand. Initially, it was suggested that his absence was a consequence of his religious beliefs about the punishment Sancho could face. However, the real reason seems to be linked to a complicated economic situation that prevents them from making the trip.
The Economic Reality of the Family
While Rodolfo Sancho is in Thailand, the Arrieta family is staying in Colombia, where they will await the judicial decision. The current economic crisis has limited their options, leaving them without the resources to travel and follow the court process in person.
Perspectives of Justice
Although the Arrieta family will not be able to be present during the reading of the sentence, they trust in Thai justice. Despite the pain they have experienced, they have made it clear that they do not want the death penalty for Daniel Sancho.
Defense expectations
The family’s lawyer, Juango Ospina, has commented that the Arrietas’ aspirations do not include extremely severe punishments. He has expressed his frustration at the lack of remorse shown by Sancho, which has aggravated the pain of the victim’s family.
A Contrast of Circumstances
The current situation has highlighted the two realities that the Arrieta and Sancho families live. While the Sanchos have been able to manage the costs associated with their trip, the Arrietas face a financial struggle that severely limits them.
A Hope for Justice
Despite the difficulties, Edwin Arrieta’s family remains hopeful that justice will prevail. With their eyes fixed on what the court will say, they hope that the crime that truncated the surgeon’s life will not be forgotten and that those responsible will face the consequences.
