New prank in the course of process to ascertain responsibility for the student’s death Salvatore Giordano. The decision to postpone was made yesterday the key hearing of the appeal process, faced with the lack of documents. First Court of Appeal, the file is missing and the prosecutor cannot support the indictment against those allegedly responsible for the lack of maintenance of Galleria Umberto. Room 311, yesterday new jokewhen the substitute PC noticed the missing cards.
Moments of embarrassment, it was up to the representative of the public prosecution to support the accusation, but the trial ended after a few minutes. Hearing postponed until May 27th, when – after having read the trial papers – he will be able to advance his conclusions towards the defendants.
The lawyer explains Sergio Pisani, who assists Salvatore Giordano’s family: «In a process like this, it is not possible to accept delays or empty passages. It is not right to force an entire family unit to wait uselessly in an empty classroom, to postpone due to carelessness or misunderstandings. Salvatore Giordano’s father and mother will certainly not have their son returned, but at least respect for the dignity of men, citizens and offended parties is due towards them.”
The backstory
But let’s try to understand what caused such an impasse. We are in early June ten years ago, a cursed spring Saturday, when a large ornamental fragment detaches from the central rose window and hits Salvatore Giordano. Two nights of agony in hospital, then his death.
And the anger, the pain, for a tragedy that should have been avoided, also in light of the reports that had reached the city council. Collapse due to negligence, a few weeks ago, at the beginning of the appeal process, two of the five defendants – we are talking about Franco Annunziata (municipal employee) and Elio Notarbartolo (condominium administrator overwhelmed by the tragedy) who have decided to waive the statute of limitations. Also awaiting the outcome of the bis trial are Mariamo Bruno (administrator of the same condominium), Marco Fresa (administrator) and Giovanni Spagnuolo, former municipal employee.
