If the death of Mango's founder, Isak Andic, it is judged as a homicide, will remain in the hands of a popular jury. The case of Begoña Gómez. These courts deal with a list of crimes including homicide and murder, but also others such as failure to assist, home invasions, and some corruption cases. The nine people who form them are not judges, but they become workers of the administration of justice for a few days to decide whether the accused is guilty or not. This means that the strategies that prosecutions and defenses use to convince these judges novellas will largely be different from those they usually exhibit when faced with professional judges. "It forces you to act much more," says a jurist. In addition, the lawyers and prosecutors in the case have the final say on who will be on the jury; hence strategies to seduce them begin even before the trial.

A jury has unanimously found the defendant guilty of killing a man to whom he owed money related to drug trafficking. The crime occurred in Sant Andreu de la Barca (Baix Llobregat) in May 2020, and the victim's body has not been found. Following the jury's verdict, the Barcelona Provincial Court ordered the defendant, Lluís B., to remain in pretrial detention, while the prosecution maintained its request for a 15-year prison sentence for homicide. The events that the jury unanimously found proven took place on May 11, 2020, during the height of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. That day, the victim, Diego Vargas, called the accused in a fit of anger and demanded a meeting to collect payment of a debt related to marijuana trafficking, a matter of contention they had been having since 2019. Vargas, as usual, called the accused to ask him to open the door. This was the last activity recorded on Vargas's phone; although he continued to receive messages, he did not reply to any of them. As AHORA explained, the lack of the body —and, therefore, of all the evidence that could be derived from the victim— meant that the prosecution and the plaintiff had to work hard during the trial to highlight all the indications that pointed to the accused and try to prove the sequence of events.
