After leaving the hearing in which the young man was linked to the process, the litigant recounted the economic precariousness of his client, a situation that would have led him to receive, on repeated occasions, money from the people who involved him in the murder of David Cohen, among them, a person whom he identified as Erik, who promised him 30 thousand pesos for his participation, an amount that he never received.
In this sense, Luis Alberto Hernández emphasized that the 18-year-old young man did not know what would happen on October 13 in the Judicial City of Mexico City (CdMx), since the people who implicated him in the case told him that it was only about “collecting money and giving a person a scare.”
