The conviction for manslaughter has become final against Michele Antonio Gaglione. The Court of Cassation in fact rejected the appeal presented by the lawyer of the accused, accused of having caused, with his conduct, the death of his sister, Paola Maria Gaglione. And there is no shortage of reactions.
Antinoo Arcigay Napoli expresses “full satisfaction”. Paola Maria died following a moped chase while she was with her boyfriend Ciro Migliore, a trans boy. “Ciro and Paola traveled together on a scooter on the night between 11 and 12 September 2020 – recalled by Antinooo Arcigay – The young woman violently hit her head against an irrigation pipe after falling from the scooter, rammed by her brother” .
“The procedural matter – comments the lawyer Giovanni Paolo Picardi, who assisted Ciro Migliore for the civil part of the trial – which saw Gaglione accused of the manslaughter of his sister Paola and of the serious injuries to the damage of Ciro has come to an end: the judges have established that this dramatic event had , among his motives, a heated tansphobic hatred which led the young Michele to carry out an unhealthy and extreme gesture. The real loser of this story is the love between two people who fought against every discrimination, every obstacle, every social and economic hardship. And the strength of that love remains as a warning for those who live in the Caivano Green Park today.”
