For Ariadna López’s family, going up against a wealthy, powerful man wasn’t a simple decision. “I just hope that the case of my sister serves to end impunity and corruption,” her brother said. “That money doesn’t empower one to avoid punishment.”
Under a law meant to crack down on violence against women, politicians obtain restraining orders to stop reporters from criticizing them or investigating corruption.In an interview, Herrera said that a pair of contusions on the back of López’s head that caused internal bleeding in her skull — but resulted in no brain damage — were consistent with a fall.The prosecutor said that lab tests showed that Lopez had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.
Describing the videos — which were later released in full — the mayor guided reporters through López’s final hours. The next morning a bearded, balding man lugged López’s body — her legs stiff with rigor mortis — through a hallway and down to the garage. He carried the corpse on his right shoulder toward the rear of a black SUV, then hastened to the driver’s side.Sheinbaum identified the man as Astudillo and accused him of driving the body away and dumping
The videos — along with the sense that the Morelos prosecutor was blaming López for her own death — fanned public outrage. Mourners carrying sunflowers chanted “Justice for Ari” on the day her remains were interred in a Mexico City cemetery. The hashtag #JusticiaparaAri took off on social media.“Ari didn’t die because of drinking alcohol. She was murdered,” said Daniela Díaz, 25, a friend who joined the demonstration.
In January, after reviewing the results of the conflicting autopsies and other evidence, Mexico’s federal attorney general’s office sided with Mexico City prosecutors.The cause of death, the attorney general found, was head trauma from a “blunt instrument” or contact with a flat, hard surface. The conclusion of Morelos examiners that López’s death was linked to profligate alcohol consumption “was not sustainable,” the attorney general ruled.
“If it hadn’t been for social media, for all the noise we made to spread the word about my sister, the whole thing would have been forgotten,” Rodríguez said. “And no one would be in jail today. ... I just hope that the case of my sister serves to end impunity and corruption. That money doesn’t empower one to avoid punishment.”The attack wasn’t random but targeted at members of the women’s group, LAPD Capt. Jonahan Tippet said.
