The psychiatrist in charge of consulting Irma Forte, the 69-year-old from Santa Maria del Molise who confesses to the murder of her husband, which occurred on the night between 23 and 24 December 2022, swore today in the Court of Isernia.
As anticipated by Primonumero, the consultancy was requested on March 19th by the lawyers defending the woman, the lawyers Giuseppe De Rubertis and Demetrio Rivellino, from the Caroppoli preliminary hearing judge who arranged it by setting May 21st for the swearing-in of the psychiatrist in charge, the Dr. Teofilo Goliath.
He had the task of verifying whether, that night, Irma Forte was capable of understanding and wanting or whether her abilities were totally or partially obscured when, according to the story of the facts reconstructed through the tears of the woman during the interrogation, she removed from the hands of Carlo Giancola that log of wood that he brandished against her, hitting him several times until he was left lifeless.
The outcome of the appraisal, in which Dr. Vincenzo Vecchione will participate – the consultant on whom the lawyers De Rubertis and Rivellino intended to rely, should be filed in mid-September.
During the hearing before the preliminary hearing judge, which was held on March 19, the woman’s children, who have always been by her side, did not take part in civil proceedings.
