Evidence river accident yesterday in the Brindisi Court on the story of the 28-year-old English woman allegedly victim of sexual violence by the Canadian director and Oscar-winning screenwriter Paul Haggis.
The hearing was requested after the arrest of Haggis, who has been under house arrest in a farmhouse in Ostuni since 19 June, to crystallize the woman's statements.
"The lady confirmed without any hesitation and without any uncertainty the content of the complaint and this is the most important thing" said after the evidentiary incident in the Court of Brindisi the lawyer Claudio Strata, lawyer of the 28-year-old alleged victim of sexual violence from part of Academy Award-winning director Paul Haggis.
"After 8 and a half hours she is very tired and exhausted" said the lawyer, but replying "no" to those who asked him if he had had a breakdown: "He asked a couple of times to suspend to have a moment of rest, to get some water and a coffee, he held up very well. "
"There were so many questions. She answered and clarified all the doubts that were raised - said the lawyer Strata -. We are very grateful to the work of the police and the prosecutor. We are only at the beginning and I believe that there will be not a short journey. We remained at the disposal of the prosecutor and we look forward to developments ".
"I can only repeat what I have already said, namely that even after, I would say especially after the examination of the injured person, Paul Haggis declares himself completely innocent and unrelated to any hypothesis of crime", said the lawyer Michele Laforgia, defender of the director.
"We are absolutely confident that first of all we will be able to restore Paul Haggis' freedom in a short time and then to be able to fully clarify this affair", he added.
"We have anticipated the formalization of the request for revocation of the precautionary measure also following the outcome of the evidentiary incident", said Laforgia.
