Varela was called to the stand at the start of the defense's case at a little after 10 a.m.
Varela, who was lucid, well prepared, and dressed in a blue shirt and suit, said, "We did meth pretty much every day" and claimed that he had tried to break up with the 29-year-old Holly about 10 times during the course of their relationship, but that she would always come back to him.
Varela, though shaky and teary at times, maintained his composure while admitting to stabbing Lake in the neck three times in a furious rage while she was laying in the reclined passenger chair of her Jaguar.
Varela Nunez alleges that he is a victim of a breach by Uruguay of articles 12 (2) and 19 of the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Varela maintains that he is a Uruguayan citizen who is subject to the jurisdiction of the State party with respect to the granting of a passport.
Varela points out that article 12 does not merely protect the right to leave one's country and to return to it for the purpose of a single journey, but that it protects a more far-reaching right to travel, namely to be free to leave any country, including one's own.
