  "account": "A woman in Benidorm is set to face trial over an alleged incident five years ago in which she reportedly cut a safety rope supporting a construction worker, leaving him hanging from the 13th floor. The case is currently being heard by the Provincial Court of Alicante, which is weighing up the prosecution's request for a six-year prison sentence. According to prosecutors, the worker was working on the façade of a high-rise building in Benidorm when the woman, who lived nearby, went out onto their balcony and cut one of the ropes holding him in place. The worker managed to grab onto the building's cornice and avoided falling, but the incident still puts his life in danger. The prosecution alleges the woman's actions were deliberate and aimed at causing harm, seeking to punish her with six years behind bars. The trial will now examine the events leading up to the incident, the evidence presented by the prosecution and defence, and the potential consequences for the accused woman.",
