AGI – Pietro Genovese was sentenced to 8 years in prison for multiple homicide on the road in connection with the accident that occurred on the night of December 21-22, 2019 in Corso Francia, Rome, which cost the lives of Gaia Von Freymann and Camilla, from 16 years. Romagnoli. The sentence was handed down by the gup Gaspare Sturzo.
Against the 21-year-old son of director Paolo, the prosecutor Roberto Felici had concluded the accusation requesting 5 years in prison. Upon reading the operative part of the sentence, Pietro burst into tears. The 21-year-old, currently under house arrest, has always been present at the hearings of the trial that was carried out with the abbreviated procedure.
In his version of the incident, which occurred on the night of December 21 to 22, 2019 in Corso Francia, at the height of via Flaminia Vecchia, in the Roman neighborhood of Ponte Milvio, Pietro, defended by the lawyer Gianluca Tognozzi, immediately after The Impact had explained to him that he had not seen Camilla and Gaia because they had “come out of nowhere” and had crossed the street with a red light for pedestrians. A reconstruction denied by Camilla’s family attorney, attorney Cesare Piraino. “The girls started the crossing with green for pedestrians,” explained the lawyer.
But according to the Gup Gaia and Camilla “crossed the pedestrian crossing with the green light,” explained Piraino, commenting on the sentence. “Excluding the concurrence of guilt, the judge effectively affirmed that the conduct of the two girls was correct. The sentence is correct although it is always regrettable that a young person is sentenced to such a severe sentence linked to a very serious fact. What matters. It is because the behavior of the two girls has been rehabilitated ”.
Gaia’s father, Edward von Freymann, represented by attorney Giulia Bongiorno attended the hearing with the photo of his daughter in his hands. “I was looking for the truth and I was shocked because the initial reconstruction did not do my girl justice. I think today’s sentence has restored the truth,” she said.
The turning point at the end of October
On October 30, the Sturzo gup had ordered the witnesses of the accident and the experts who carried out technical consultations in the courtroom to be heard. The judge had heard the experts in two hearings on November 4 and 14.
“We are satisfied, what the judge ordered is a necessary investigation. An erroneous reconstruction had been made and in the plea we pointed out the errors,” said the lawyer Bongiorno, “There had been an error from the beginning in identifying the point of impact. I am satisfied that the judge was not satisfied with the reconstruction offered that included a concurrence of guilt of the girls. There are findings of the trial that deny this point. It is important that there has not been a decision on a partial and misleading reconstruction. “
“The judge evidently believes that he must investigate the sources of the evidence,” explained lawyer Franco Coppi who, together with his colleague Gianluca Tognozzi, defends Pietro Genovese. For Tognozzi, “given that the sentences are passed beyond any reasonable doubt, it is clear that there is something that the judge wants to clarify.”
