Herrera acquitted of murder, sentenced for assault; accomplice gets 8 years

An Argentine court acquitted Gustavo Herrera of murdering Gabriela Pérez, an innocent bystander in a union dispute, convicting him only of assaulting his ex-partner with a one-year conditional sentence. Accomplice Walter 'Petaca' Vallejos received eight years. The verdict may reflect evidentiary challenges in attributing the fatal act, and the case remains under investigation.
