Resumen
Resumen: El presente trabajo aborda la importancia del peso probatorio en la decisión penal sobre los hechos, especialmente si esta debe valorar solo grados de probabilidad o también considerar el peso. Con un ejemplo cotidiano, se plantea la importancia de la cantidad de información respecto al resultado de una decisión. Trasladado al campo penal, se aporta, primero, el concepto keynesiano del peso; luego, se argumenta que existe un vínculo necesario entre la justicia de la decisión y la determinación de los hechos verdaderos, objetivo que exige una concepción racionalista de la prueba. También se analizan normas procesales y aportes doctrinarios que destacan la importancia del peso probatorio. En conclusión, se invita a reflexionar sobre el peso probatorio en la práctica judicial.
Abstract: This paper addresses the importance of evidentiary weight in the criminal decision on the facts, especially if it should only evaluate degrees of probability or also consider the weight. With an everyday example, the importance of the amount of information with respect to the outcome of a decision is discussed. Taken to the criminal field, the Keynesian concept of weight is first introduced. It is then argued that there is a necessary link between the fairness of the decision and the determination of true facts, an objective that requires a rationalistic conception of evidence. Procedural norms and doctrinal contributions that highlight the importance of evidential weight are also analyzed. In conclusion, the paper invites to reflect on the evidentiary weight in judicial practice.
