In a recent legal ruling, a federal judge has allowed 74-year-old Doña Carlota, a woman charged with double homicide, to serve her judicial process under house arrest. This decision comes after she was accused of fatally shooting two individuals who allegedly attempted to invade her home in Chalco, located in the State of Mexico. Despite prior denials from state judges concerning her request for house arrest due to concerns about potential flight risk and the lack of proof regarding her housing arrangements, the federal judge has deemed her age and declining health—impacted by her diabetes—as factors warranting this change in custody.
