Nahir Galarza legal appeals for sentence review

Overview

Nahir Galarza, convicted of the 2017 murder of Fernando Pastorizzo, is pursuing legal avenues to review her perpetual imprisonment sentence. Following a 2024 ruling by the Argentine Supreme Court that upheld her conviction, her defense has filed formal requests and extraordinary appeals with the Superior Tribunal of Justice of Entre Ríos.

The defense strategy seeks to challenge the legal classification of the crime. Specifically, lawyers are contesting the evidence used to establish a stable romantic relationship between Galarza and the victim, which served as an aggravating factor in her original sentencing. The defense also alleges irregularities in the primary investigation, including claims that forensic analysis of Galarza’s mobile phone was invalid and that the trial failed to incorporate a gender perspective.
