“This Monday the trial began with the reading of the accusation and the opening statement, where all the lawyers had the opportunity to say what we believe happened. What the prosecutor believes is what the investigating prosecutor believes, because they are also part of the same structure called the Public Prosecutor’s Office.“said the defender.

Nievas stated that his client Agüero is ontologically and truly innocent because “there is no direct proof” against her. In this sense, the lawyer stated that the defense hypothesis is that “there was a generalized asepsis, because the neonatal hospital and specifically the obstetric center was filth” and added that “the dead babies “They did not all die from the same thing, but in some cases from congenital conditions or from the mothers themselves.”

“We, out of a matter of respect, have not wanted to say it until now, but it emerges from the mothers’ medical records that there was one who had AIDS, two Syphilis, three kidney problems and that ended up affecting the babies.” , pointed out the lawyer.

Regarding the impact that the case had in the province and in the national media, the lawyer analyzed: “That official version of a healthy mother, normal pregnancy, healthy child or surprise because the babies died was a liea construction that is going to begin to crumble once the testimonies begin and what emerges in the trial.”

Regarding the potassium injection, Nievas said: “Scientifically it is impossible for a 3 kilo baby to receive the slightest dose and survive. That is an absolute lie that will be proven. “The evolution towards the death of a person due to the application of potassium is immediate.”

“What has happened here is a generalized asepsis that the doctors did not know how to handle and, when the situation became complicated, they began to invent something that would allow the government to escape its responsibility in a public hospital. So, the only bright idea that occurred to him is that of a serial killer, and Brenda is selected among the people who were at almost all the births, because she is a woman, from the interior and because He wasn’t supposed to be able to defend himself.“said the lawyer.

The trial began in the Criminal and Correctional Chamber of the 7th Nomination of Córdoba and a popular jury will be in charge of judging the accused. The schedule will run until June and is scheduled for four weekly hearings in Court II Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and in February there will be three per week Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at a similar time, as reported.
