codefendants...

Question

I need help translating to spanish the bolded parts

Three codefendants, including General Roberto Eduardo Viola, who succeeded Videla as president, were found guilty of lesser charges and received sentences ranging from four and a half to 17 years.

Please specify the help you need on the bolded parts. I guess no one on this site can read your thoughts and so the task should be pretty clear before someone can answer it correctly. - tombot, Feb 26, 2012

Answer 1

Three codefendants, including General Roberto Eduardo Viola, who succeeded Videla as president, were found guilty of lesser charges and received sentences ranging from four and a half to 17 years.

Corrections welcome.

Answer 2

Otra posibilidad es "co-defendidos."

Answer 3

Le diría coacusados.
