The case was heard at the Larissa Single-Member Misdemeanor Court’s flagrant offense session, where the defendant denied the charges that he had slapped his partner. He also stated that he did not wish to take part in a criminal mediation program.
During the trial, the victim testified, describing the moment of the altercation, and asked the court to show leniency toward her partner.
The prosecutor argued for a guilty verdict on the charge of domestic assault against a pregnant woman. In her address, she noted that the victim had been afraid, which is why she did not seek to expand further on the incident.
The prosecutor’s recommendation of a two-year prison sentence without suspension on appeal was accepted by the presiding judge, resulting in the defendant being taken into custody.
