The defense of the actor Pablo Lyle denounced in a brief virtual hearing with the judge of the case the irregularities that have been presented in the transcript of his client’s trial, which has caused the appeal process to be stalled.
Apparently, the company in charge of transcription, an activity that consists of translating oral content (audio or video) into a written format to present the text in a trial, did not deliver the work in a timely manner. In addition, the defense argued that the company charges for its services is excessive.
In recent days, a virtual hearing was held in which the defense team of the actor Pablo Lyle filed a complaint against those in charge of the transcription of his client’s trial because, apparently, they have not done their job in the best way. However, according to information from windowingthe transcribers defended themselves against the accusations.
We stand firm in our argument, that if they had made the request in the correct way and specifying that the transcript was for an appeal, we would have avoided all this. We are not trying to punish the client for the mistakes of his lawyers at all, but we should not be penalized for those same mistakes either.
In addition, the transcriptionists stated that it seemed that what they were trying to do was turn the matter around and their work, but Lyle’s lawyer stated that they cannot say that they were unaware that the transcript would be used to appeal, since it was obvious.
For what purpose would the transcript of an entire trial be requested if not for an appeals process? The transcripts were requested after the trial for that purpose and no special indication needed to be made. It is worth mentioning that all the transcripts have been requested and paid for by the family after the trial and his sentencing, and after a legal team began working on the appeal and that was three months ago.
After listening to both parties, the judge finally ruled that the company must deliver the transcripts no later than this May 24 at 5:00 pm. For details like this, the appeal that his lawyers are trying to make is still stalled.
