The deputy prosecutor of the Rome appellate court, Vincenzo Saveriano, requested sentence to 14 years in prison by Antonio Ciontoli as part of the appeal process bis on the case of Marco Vannini. The charge is voluntary manslaughter. The same accusation and the same punishment that had been imposed on him in the first degree, when the head of the family accused of Vannini’s murder was convicted, precisely, of voluntary manslaughter.
For Ciontoli’s wife and children, I asked for 9 years and 4 months
According to the magistrate, his wife María Pezzillo, their two children Martina and Federico are responsible for an anomalous complicity (according to article 116 of the penal code) in voluntary homicide with possible fraud and the request is for 9 years and 4 months in prison.
The decision of the Supreme Court and the start of the appeal process bis
Antonio Ciontoli was sentenced in first grade to 14 years in prison for voluntary homicide with possible intent. His wife and children were sentenced to three years for murder. For the judges Marco Vannini could have been saved and this did not happen because the Ciontoli delayed the arrival and the work of the rescuers. “Eventual fraud” means that Ciontoli did not want Vannini’s death strictly speaking, but accepted the risk that the event could occur and acted accordingly knowing the risks.
The Criminal Court of Appeal instead, he sentenced Ciontoli to 5 years for murder. “The fact of being confronted with a defendant whose conduct is particularly hateful cannot by itself lead to a guilty act becoming malicious”, motivate the judges. However, given the seriousness of the event, the court decided the maximum sentence for murder, that is, 5 years. The shot that Ciontoli fired and that killed Vannini “is guilty.” The head of the family “has consciously and repeatedly avoided activating immediate help” for Marco in order to “avoid harmful consequences in the workplace.” However, this would not change the nature of the murder, which according to the court remains negligent.
The Court of Cassation ordered a new appeal trial for Antonio Ciontoli and his family. For the judges, Vannini’s death was undoubtedly a consequence of Ciontoli’s negligent shooting, but also of “lack of help which, if activated quickly, would undoubtedly have avoided the unfortunate effect.” Ciontoli and his relatives carried out “omissionate conduct in the segment after the explosion of a pistol shot, attributable only to Antonio Ciontoli, who, after the culprit injury, remained inert, then said the wrong thing by obstructing the rescue.”
