Abstract

This paper discusses a conviction for the offense of receiving1, issued by the Circuit Criminal Court 30 of Bogotá (Colombia). This conviction follows the adversarial system provided in the Legislative Act 03 of 2002 and Act 906 of 2004. Through a deconstruction process, I show (i) the arguments that were taken into account by the judicial office to make a decision against the interests of the sentenced person, and (ii) possible flaws, based on the guidelines of the criminal dogma fault point, the improper evidence assessment, and the failure of the constitutional principles underlying criminal proceedings.
