 Some recap from El Mundo in case anybody needs it, because this took ages 
Caso Nóos: Las claves del caso Nóos | EL MUNDO
https://translate.google.com/transla...-text=&act=url
Although the court decision will be known tomorrow, some media has already leaked some info that Iñaki will face 7 - 8 years of prison (way less than what the prosecutor called for), and Cristina will not be convicted (seems credible, but take this with a grain of salt until it's official)

Inaki's sentence sounds plausible as well, I always found 19 years ridiculous, murderers get less for their crime.

I can't wait to see the verdict, this story has lasted much too long.

I agree, happy to see it end. I have seen murder trials shorter. They make time to get to court, and fir the trial itself, but the verdict?
I hope the predictions are right. Hard enough on these kids if both parents go away. It seemed unlikely anyways. And 19 years is ridiculous. I always find it odd when people get less years for murder than other crimes.

Infanta Cristina won't go to jail (more the pity) but her darling husband is going to spend a few years in one of them. I'm sorry for their kids, they are the innocent party to their parents' shameful behaviour.
I hope the sentence brings to an end the thinking that royalty is above the law and can have a fee reign with tax payers' moneys. They don't. They can't. I'm truly proud of my country.

That can only happen if she (the royal) is sentenced for prison

Whether or not she knew what her husband was doing is the whole point of the charges brought against her. We know she knew....proving it in a court of law is a whole different proposition.
Her husband is going to jail and she's become a pariah in Spain. A hell of a sentence for an Infanta of Spain who thought she was above the law.
