18 statements made thereafter[.] While the accused point[ed] out that his confession was obtained [on the] basis [of] blows, threats and torture, this is not corroborated[,] since even if there is judicial recognition of the injuries that he showed when he made his preparatory statement[,…] there is no evidence that may prove fully that said injuries were inflicted by members of the Judicial Police to force him to admit that he had committed the acts attribute[d] to him.” 58.1.16 On May 28, 1993, Mr. Alfonso Martín-del-Campo and his public defender filed an appeal against the May 28, 1993 judgment.
