THOUGHT: The user wants only the Spanish translation of the provided English text. I need to ensure the names and specific details are translated accurately while maintaining the journalistic tone. * "Judge hears evidence" -> "Juez escucha pruebas" or "Juez conoce pruebas". "Escucha" is more direct. * "in defense of" -> "en defensa de" * "Terence Richardson" -> (Keep as is, it's a proper name) * "convicted in 1998 police killing" -> "condenado por el asesinato de un policía en 1998" or "condenado en 1998 por el asesinato de un policía". The latter is slightly more natural for the 'in 1998' part. * "- WRIC ABC 8News" -> This is a source attribution. In Spanish journalism, it's often included directly or at the end. "— WRIC ABC 8News" or "Fuente: WRIC ABC 8News". Given the original format, preserving the dash is common. Combining these elements: "Juez escucha pruebas en defensa de Terence Richardson, condenado en 1998 por el asesinato de un policía — WRIC ABC 8News"

1998 la defensa de la condena
