Woman Wrongfully Accused of Robbery, Lives in Hiding for Years

Violeta Villavicencio's ordeal began in February 2014, when she was accused of participating in a robbery that left a money changer quadriplegic. She spent years in hiding, fearing a life sentence. "Casi son dos años de mi vida que vivo así, en la clandestinidad," she says, describing her life in hiding. A two-year investigation cleared her of involvement, but the case was reopened in 2019. The video shows footage of the crime scene and interviews with Villavicencio, who maintains her innocence. The case highlights the complexities of the justice system and the human cost of false accusations. The 2023 sentencing decision is a significant development in the case.
