| Sumario: | Trials for crimes against humanity are extraordinary spaces where struggles for memory take placeand where judicial actors dispute a “legal” truth that they later try to transform into a “historical”truth. In this sense, the analysis of the trial of former judge Manlio Torcuato Martínez becomes thescenario to investigate the conflicts between the judicial actors, the traumas that the witnesseshave -some of them testified for the first time in their lives- and the legal ritual of a trial that tookplace in 2015. Months before the Cambiemos government took office, and that positioned theCourt in a context in favor of the proposals of the Human Rights Organizations. For this reason,the questions that guide this paper are related to the form that the legal ritual took, the disputesover legal truth in the judicial scenario -taking into account that it was a former federal judge whowas the defendant- and the way in which the witnesses were treated during heir statements. Thesources for this paper are the recording material provided by the Human Rights Secretariat of theFederal Oral Tribunal of Tucumán. |
