The chess master who put an end to the suffering of his seriously ill mother received Nausėda, but not the mercy of the judges.

A. Yegorov was behind bars in 2017. On June 10 he was sentenced by a court to 8 years in prison, but in reality it does not end in 2025, but in 2022. June 10 – July 5. The Grace Commission headed by President G. Nausėda decided to commute the sentence to 3 years in prison.

The prison doors could have opened for A. Yegorov already this week, because the Probation Commission of the Marijampolė Correctional Center, where the killer is serving his sentence, and the Vilkaviškis court had decided to release the convicted Kaunas resident in conditional freedom. . However, prosecutors opposed such a decision, saying that the early release of the mother’s killer would not implement the principle of justice.

According to the prosecutors, the Vilkaviškis court, which decided to release A. Yegorov, did not adequately assess the personality of the convicted person and the danger of the crime, and motivated its decision by giving particular importance to the data that positively described the convicted person.

‘TO. “Yegorov is serving a sentence for a very serious crime: murder, the convict decided to kill his disabled mother while he was drunk, these crimes are considered exceptionally dangerous and their consequences are very serious and irreversible, causing particularly great harm to the protected interests of the state, “prosecutors said. So far “it tends to be justified, to downplay criminal behavior.”

According to prosecutors, A. Yegororvas, while free for the past two years, was heavily intoxicated with alcohol, took sedatives and committed the crime without realizing what he was doing, impulsively, overwhelmed by despair.

“Although the dispositions of the convicted person do not support the criminal behavior, it tends to justify his crime, he transfers the blame more to the environment, he has a peculiar explanation for the criminal behavior,” the prosecutors stressed. – The positive conduct of the defendant and the efforts to make reparation were inconsistent, which is why a person must be considered, even during the execution of the sentence, who tends to violate the established order of conduct and does not obey the mandatory norms of the convicted in prisons. . “

According to prosecutors, the prisoner convicted of murder must remain in the prison, as there are still no grounds to affirm that the danger of the convicted person to society has disappeared.

This position was supported by the appeals court: the panel chaired by Judge Giedrius Endriukaitis noted that “there is currently no reason to claim that A. Yegorov is undoubtedly making sufficient and evident progress in reducing the risk of criminal conduct.”

According to the court, A. Yegorov is still trying to justify his actions when he killed his mother, impotence, disability.

“According to the convict, he was involved in gambling, allocated part of his free time and income, suffered financial difficulties due to this hobby and currently has financial obligations owed to him,” according to the judges, A. Yegorov is currently under pressure . of more than 4,000 people. Debt in euros, so it can be concluded that the propensity to gamble of the convicted person is a factor that increases the risk of recidivism.

In addition, the judges emphasized that the inmate did not work in the prison and that his conduct was not impeccable throughout the sentence.

“According to the record, A. Yegorov committed the crime while intoxicated and the convict admits that he had alcohol problems related to alcohol dependence while he was at liberty,” emphasized the panel of judges. – A. Yegorov could not control his life: he got drunk on alcohol, played games of chance, easily succumbed to the negative influence of other people and allowed himself to be manipulated. The promotion of the improper lifestyle of the convict and the leisure activities that promote crime is one of the criminogenic factors that increases the risk of criminal conduct of the convict. “

According to the judges, A. Yegorov tends not only to minimize his behavior, but also to justify it: Since the main problem is the inability to control his life, he solved the problems by intoxicating with alcohol. The convicted person tends to justify his crime, he transfers the guilt more to the environment, he has a peculiar explanation of the criminal behavior. Although the convict understands that being a member of society implies rights and responsibilities, it is only in freedom where it is more difficult to respect them. These circumstances undoubtedly increase the danger of the convicted person to society and allow reasonable doubts about the effectiveness of the probation institute in relation to the convicted person. “

A. Yegorov was convicted of the fact that in 2017. on June 8, intoxicated with alcohol, he deliberately suffocated his disabled mother with a pillow. Two days later, he wrote a message to his friend on Facebook: “I stopped my mother’s suffering, she couldn’t take the stress anymore.”

He also spoke with the examining magistrate: the man explained that he wanted to end his mother’s suffering because he did not move, he emptied himself.

“I wanted to end my mother and my suffering,” Yegorov said.

He explained that he initially cared for his mother with his father, and that after his death, for the past several years, this very heavy, morally, physically and financially oppressive burden of caring for his mother had fallen on him alone.

According to the husband, the mother was cared for in the nursing hospital for some time, but at the end of the 4-month period, she was unable to pay for the additional maternal care, so the only option was the nursing home.

“In addition to my daily work and my worries, I had to constantly take care of a patient who could not take care of herself, which required a lot of effort, not a day to see a tormented mother, and because of a closed lifestyle. those around me will see my mother, ”he explained later in court.

He said his mother tried to combine nursing with work, but was unsuccessful, no social workers came home, so he had many psychological problems and even once tried to commit suicide.

A. Yegorov cared for his mother, who suffered from a serious illness (affecting both her body and mind) for about 15 years. The convict has acquired the title of FIDE Master awarded by the World Chess Federation.
