Summary
Commentary on a ruling of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation of 2 September 2025, in a case of attempted homicide committed by a minor in La Plata. The Court set aside a sentence that had raised the penalty from three to nine years and ordered a new one to be issued, because it disregarded the "Maldonado" precedent, which requires weighing social reintegration and imposing on those who were minors a lighter penalty than that of an adult. Useful for public defenders' offices, guarantee and enforcement courts, and youth criminal justice teams.
