Abstract

This article deals with the violation of the right to due process, in terms of the basic guarantee of the right to defense; and, legal certainty, because, by express mandate of what is stipulated in article 643, number 15, of the Comprehensive Criminal Organic Code, it does not oblige the professionals (experts) of the technical offices of the courts of violence against the woman and the family to appear at the Judgment Hearing to support their reports, but rather, they are only annexed to the process and are valued by the judge. This refusal to appear, entails the violation of the right to defense, since it makes it impossible to practice and contradict the evidence within the trial hearing, which is why the main objective of study of this article , is the analysis of the theoretical-practical postulates of the right to defense and the contradiction of the evidence, allowing to determine if the absence of the experts in the trial is transcendental, in terms of the right to defense of the prosecuted persons. The research method used is analytical, within which, through the study of a specific case (practical case) and interviews, it allows us to legally analyze the topic addressed.
