With a reputation for being fiercely tenacious, the defense is likely to scrutinize every detail of the prosecution’s case, searching for vulnerabilities to exploit.

With the trial date looming, Fuentes-Santos’ fate hangs in the balance, as the court weighs the evidence and renders a verdict on the defendant’s guilt or innocence.
