The PJ's inspector had already been acquitted in the first instance in 2014, after which she was sentenced to 17 years in prison for the Coimbra Relation, but the Supreme Court rejected the decision and the trial began to be repeated in May, jury. In the final allegations, in July, the Public Prosecutor's Office (MP) requested the maximum sentence - 25 years in prison - for the inspector, considering that there was "economic motivation" to commit the crime, with the prosecutor to maintain that the inspector and husband had a financial situation that, "although balanced and controlled, was not brilliant." Defense lawyer Mónica Quintela reiterated, as she did in the first trial in 2014, that the investigation has no credibility, pointing to several contradictions and shortcomings, and defended the acquittal of her client. The defendant's defense pointed out that there is nothing to show that the five particles detected in the jacket were the result of shots, since the clothing was in contact with the floor of an inspector's office before being analyzed. Ana Salgado, who reaffirmed her innocence during the trial, was accused of being the author of more than 10 shots that killed Filomena Alves, 80, in a residence in Coimbra on the afternoon of November 21, 2012.
The PJ's inspector was initially acquitted in 2014 by a jury court, where the president of the panel of judges, João Ferreira, considered that "the likelihood of the defendant having committed the crimes under the indictment was minimal.

No doubt this one will rumble on with another appeal by the PP........how many times do you have to be declared innocent in Portugal before it can be decreed you are?
I wonder how many bullet holes were located in the exhumed body of the victim?
