Ortiz, through his lawyer, asked the judge not to allow the publication of the work before the provincial court and the office of the Córdoba prosecutor for the illegitimate interference of the right to privacy and the image of the deceased minors, according to the documents to which this newspaper had access.
“When a woman asks for help, a mother asks for help, it is because she really needs it,” says Ortiz. Fourteen years after the murder of the children, after a last sentence that condemns the murderer at 40, Ortiz complains of his request before the provincial court that the newspaper articles with the details of the book are causing “enormous pain and new psychological damage” including “comments and expressions that do not even appear in the sentence, afflicted by terrible rooms”.

Hatred It consists of a double proposal: on the one hand, the book reconstructs the crime, the previous days and the police investigations and attracts a sowing of Breton through the testimony of the murderer himself. On the other, he tells the story of the personal approach between the writer and the prisoner, who for several years crosses about 60 cards, phone calls and have face -to -face conversations.
