Testimony of the people who were at the meeting that day and evidence from Forensic Medicine were key in determining the sentence.

In the middle of the judicial proceeding, Mercado did not accept the charges filed by the Prosecutor’s Office, “aggravated attempted femicide.”
In the next few hours it will be defined in which prison he will be guarded.
The facts
It should be remembered that María Fernanda Ariza recorded an audio where she revealed that she was the victim of an attempted femicide by the vallenato composer.
It all happened on October 13, 2021, when they shared a meeting together with a group of friends in a house in Valledupar.
According to the young woman, they were no longer dating and despite an old threat, the relationship did not end on bad terms.
However, the man apparently, Mercado would have been annoyed that a man courted his ex-girlfriend on WhatsApp.
The vallenato composer reacted by hitting his sentimental ex-partner.
María Fernanda suffered blows to the face that caused her septum to twist and several cracked teeth.
The next day he filed a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office, a complaint that today has the vallenatero under arrest and in prison.
