I went with the rebut the presumption that he had that capacity. I thought Rosa's answer was good, too, but it would have to be "contested" not contended. Thanks everyone for the help!

the defendent never tried to refute the charges


Explanation:
Not too sure what 'ese caracter' is referring to/what it is that he has done, but I reckon it is related to the charges brought against him. The sense seems to be that he has accepted whatever has been levelled at him. HTH!

On re-reading, I see what 'ese caracter' is referring to, so I am still sticking to my original response!
