Motivación en las sentencias emitidas por los jueces de primer nivel en Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract:This research paper addresses the motivation behind the first-level ruling in Ecuador. This case concerns psychological violence against a woman in the city of Cañar in 2020. A favorable ruling was issued for the victim because she had endured this violence for a long time. Thanks to the judge's well-reasoned motivation, which allowed her to clarify her verdict in conjunction with the prosecution and the relevant experts, justice was served in this case. In the name of Ecuadorian justice, I believe that the process was conducted in accordance with legal principles. The judge's correct ruling confirms that justice in Ecuador is not just about written words but about its implementation. It should be noted that the work of the experts and the prosecutor demonstrated that due process was followed and that the judge had all the necessary parameters to issue the ruling. The victim, through comprehensive reparation, can improve their quality of life; indeed, the defendant served their six-month prison sentence.
