LaValle was convicted of first-degree murder and condemned.
Crucial to that portion of LaValle's appeal is that his perhaps fatal choice to forgo mitigation testimony was apparently not a tactical consideration, but a decision based on a reluctance to bare his own and his family's history in a public courtroom.
LaValle's dispute with his attorneys over the presentation of mitigating evidence was one of several battles between the defendant and legal counsel.
Forces commanded by Estanislao LOpez, governor of Santa Fe, and Juan Manuel de Rosas defeated Lavalle (Apr., 1829), who took refuge in Montevideo.
Aided by Argentine exiles there and, for a time, by French officials, Lavalle organized an army in 1839 and, invading Argentina, campaigned against Rosas.
The campaign was generally unsuccessful; Lavalle was decisively defeated by Manuel Oribe, an ally of Rosas, in 1841.
