Prueba de referencia. Aún en violencia de género, no es admisible, si víctima decide no comparecer

Reference evidence due to the witness's "unavailability." Even in contexts of violence against women, for it to be exceptionally accepted as a "similar" event—Article 438, section b, of Law 906 of 2004—it is essential that the absence be due to circumstances beyond the witness's control. Therefore, the party seeking to admit the witness to trial under this modality must duly prove, with sufficient evidence, circumstances such as force, coercion, or violence that prevented their appearance in court. Superior Court of Cali, Criminal Division, Case No. 760016099165201932746 of May 15, 2026, Judge Sandra Liliana Portilla López, presiding over Judge César Augusto Castillo Taborda.    • Prueba de referencia. Aún en violencia de ...
