News about the pregnancy of “marathon queen” Valeria Chekalina, also known as Lerchek, has caused a stir and could even radically affect the outcome of her trial. Famous blogger and entrepreneur Maria Pogrebnyak believes that this truth will become an effective tool for the defendant in the fight for freedom. She expressed this opinion in a conversation with reporters super.
Pogrebnyak directly stated that, in her opinion, Chekalina now had every chance to avoid imprisonment. Her position will play an important role in this.
“I don't know who the baby's father is or how old he is, but what is certain is that after this news, I think she will have extenuating circumstances and avoid prison,” the businesswoman noted.
The blogger emphasized that in the legal field, pregnancy is traditionally considered a serious factor and can point towards a lighter penalty. This argument will likely be used by the defense to ask for a suspended sentence or another non-custodial sentence.
