Two and a half years have passed since the feminicide of Ana María Serrano in the State of Mexico, and the trial against the alleged perpetrator has yet to commence. Her family is still awaiting justice, having hoped for a swift resolution following the arrest of Allan ‘N’, her ex-boyfriend and accused murderer, just four days after Ana María's violent death. However, the legal process has faced numerous delays due to appeals and motions filed by the defense, further complicating the situation for the family seeking closure.

In an interview with journalist Salvador García Soto on the program A la Una, Ximena Céspedes, Ana María's mother, voiced her dismay over the judicial delays caused by the defendant's persistent legal maneuvers. She highlighted the quick action taken by authorities in apprehending Allan just days after the tragedy. Nevertheless, Ximena noted that this initial swiftness has not translated into timely justice, as the defense's strategic delays have stalled the judicial process, leaving the family frustrated and yearning for resolution.

As the anniversary of Ana María's death approaches, Ximena's plea reflects a broader issue within the Mexican justice system regarding the treatment of feminicide cases. The ongoing struggle of families like hers to process their grief and achieve justice underscores the need for systemic reforms to expedite legal proceedings and address the growing crisis of violence against women in the country. The Serrano case exemplifies the challenges faced by many in similar situations, highlighting a pressing need for change to support victims' families during such trying times.
