The defense, however, argued that the suspect was not solely responsible for the tragic outcome and sought to mitigate their client's culpability.

Ultimately, the court found the suspect guilty of the charges brought against them. The judge handed down a severe sentence, reflecting the gravity of the crime and the impact it had on Yaniel's family and the community. The family of Yaniel Soler-Rivera expressed their gratitude to the authorities and the legal system for their efforts in seeking justice for their beloved son.
