Starting point is 00:00:00 The case of Diana and Lucio, a baby, a trial, and a country in shock. When news first broke about what Diana and Lucio had done, people thought the story couldn't possibly get darker. But then came the court hearings, the leaks, the testimonies, and the official rulings. Every new piece of information added another layer of horror, confusion, and disbelief. And by the time their second audience in court came around, Mexico as a whole was divided between rage, pity, and a deep sense of exhaustion over how something like this could happen in the first place. The mother speaks out. Before the initial hearing, Diana's mom tried to make one thing clear to the media, please stop attacking us. We are not responsible for
Starting point is 00:00:49 Diana's actions. You could hear the desperation in her voice. She wasn't trying to excuse what her daughter did. She wasn't denying the evidence. She was simply begging people to separate the parents from the children. But that plea fell on deaf ears. To the public, the entire family was guilty by association. Online comments painted them as monsters who raised a killer. In the court of public opinion, there are no gray areas. The first hearing, February 16, 2025. Sunday morning 8.30 a.m. in the oral trial courtrooms. That's when the whole country's eyes were on Diana and Lucio. For the first time since the scandal broke, they would stand before a judge. The prosecution came armed with evidence, lots of it. Witnesses, testimonies, documents, security

His testimony painted a vivid image of that morning, a quiet street, the shock of finding movement inside what looked like trash, and the moment he realized it was a breathing baby.
Starting point is 00:02:27 The Pastry Shop owner Diana's boss also took the stand. He didn't just describe her as an employee but also provided surveillance camera footage. In that footage, you could see Lucio showing up at the shop and Diana handing him a bag at the door. That bag, according to the prosecution, contained the baby. Over 20 screenshots of conversations The chats between Diana and Lucio were damning. They didn't just suggest, they outright confirmed, that the couple had agreed to abandon the baby.
Starting point is 00:03:04 There was no doubt anymore, this wasn't an accident, this was a decision. The charges Based on all this evidence, the judge ordered preventive detention for both Diana and Lucio. The charge qualified attempted homicide, a legal term that basically means trying to kill someone with aggravating circumstances. Why aggravated? Because the victim wasn't just anyone, it was their own child, a direct blood descendant. That made the crime even more serious under Mexican law. This wasn't about negligence. It wasn't about panic in the moment. The law saw it as a deliberate act,
Starting point is 00:03:50 changed everything. Tears in the courtroom. Despite the cold evidence, both Diana and Lucio broke down in court. Witnesses described them crying uncontrollably at times. Some people watching thought those tears were manipulative, an attempt to win sympathy. Others wondered if it was the first time reality truly hit them, no more hiding, no more denial, just the heavy weight of what they had done. Either way, those tears didn't change the judge's mind.

He's a boy who made a terrible mistake in the middle of terrible circumstances. But when asked for details about the legal defense plan, he gave none. No clear strategy, no explanation, just vague comments about wanting a process appropriate to his circumstances.
