Nahir Galarza defense files extraordinary appeal in Entre Ríos

The defense for Nahir Galarza has filed an extraordinary appeal with the Superior Tribunal of Justice of Entre Ríos in an attempt to modify her life sentence. Galarza was convicted in 2018 for the murder of her partner, Fernando Pastorizzo.

The legal strategy focuses on challenging the classification of the crime, specifically aiming to dismantle the evidence used to establish a stable romantic relationship, which served as an aggravating factor in her original sentencing. The defense also alleges irregularities during the primary investigation. Although the Supreme Court of Justice previously confirmed the conviction in 2024, the defense is seeking this new judicial avenue to review the case.
