Garlasco’s issues: the preliminary hearing for Sempio on February 25, while Stasi’s lawyers aim to review the final sentence
A single crime, two judicial truths that are currently crashing into each other in the courtrooms. Almost twenty years after that cursed August 13, 2007, when Chiara Poggi was massacred in the family villa in Garlasco, Italian justice is preparing to write yet another chapter of an infinite odyssey.
Next February 25th we will return to the courtroom: the Pavia magistrate, Luigi Rigamontihas scheduled the preliminary hearing to decide on the indictment of Andrea Sempio38 years old, today indicated by the Prosecutor’s Office as the perpetrator of the same murder for which Alberto Stasithe victim’s boyfriend at the time, has already been definitively convicted.
A paradox that promises sparks right from the start. Because while the Pavia magistrates led by Fabius Napoleon they ask for the trial for Examplethe 38-year-old’s defense (entrusted to lawyers Angela Taccia And Liborio Cataliotti) sharpens its weapons with a move destined to spark discussion: an exception of unconstitutionality to prevent two incompatible proceedings from traveling on parallel tracks, the review of the trial against Stasis on the one hand and the new judgment against Example on the other.
Garlasco’s next steps
A chess game played on the edge of law, science and expert opinions, with the defense team already meeting to dismantle the prosecution’s structure point by point.
Yes, the accusation. In the prosecutor’s papers, the reconstruction of the murder brings to life the pure horror of that summer morning. According to prosecutors, Example he would have acted “with cruelty” and for “vile reasons”, driven by hatred towards Chiara after the rejection of his approach.
A blind fury reconstructed blow by blow: first the fight, then the brutal beatings with a blunt instrument (at least 12 injuries to the head and face), the body dragged towards the cellar door. And again, when the young girl desperately tries to react by getting down on all fours, another three or four shots knock her unconscious, until the ferocious epilogue at the bottom of the cellar stairs, where the girl is hit another four or five times already unconscious. A chilling sequence that reopens a never-healed wound in the heart of the Poggi family.
But the judicial earthquake seems to have just begun. Because the lawyers are also moving on the other front Alberto Stasi, Antonio De Rensis And Giada Bocellariready to file the request for review of the trial shortly. Inside those papers there would be completely unpublished elements, never before entered into the documents, one of which (the defenders promise) is destined to cause a “sensation”.
