The court is presided over by Judge Jacayra Veras, who, upon announcing the pause, explained that, although a sentence is usually handed down immediately after the conclusions, on this occasion more time will be required due to the amount of evidence that must be examined. Although the case was not declared complex, the judge indicated that the extensive debates and interrogations presented justify a detailed analysis before issuing a ruling.
