Argentina judge frees confessed killer under new juvenile justice law

A judge in San Isidro applied Argentina's new juvenile justice system to release a man who had been sentenced to 19 years for the 2009 homicide of Santiago Urbani during a home invasion in Tigre. The decision hinges on the offender's age at the time of the crime and the retroactive application of the new law. This marks an early test of the reform and is likely to spark public and political debate over leniency and victim rights.
