inside the estate

at the door

In his account, the witness indicated that the former leader of Tan Biónica rebuked his mother, two doctors and the police officers present and, about the moment before he was shot, said that "Chano" pursued one of the policemen who "remained isolated from others. "
The man assured that at that moment he heard "what apparently was a firearm shot" and observed how his nephew fell injured and was quickly treated by the doctors.

Esteban Charpentier is the
seventh witness
from whom prosecutor Zocca took a statement to try to reconstruct what happened on the night of July 25 when "Chano" was shot in the abdomen by Amendolara, who is accused of the crime of "
very serious injuries aggravated
by the use of of a firearm and for having been committed by a police officer ".

if the policeman fired to defend himself against
an attack by the musician with a serrated blade while he was under a presumed psychotic outbreak or if
an excess
was committed
.

Zocca also hopes that "Chano" is in a position to give his testimony this week, for which he requested a psychophysical report from the Otamendi Sanatorium, where the musician was hospitalized after the shot in which they had to remove the spleen, a kidney and part of the pancreas.
"We don't know. He is very sensitive.
One thing is physical and another is psychological,
" said "Chano's" mother when asked when her son could testify.
In addition, the prosecutor hopes that the dates on which the expertise will be carried out on the musician's clothing will be confirmed in order to estimate the distance of the shot, of the projectile found between those clothes, of the served sheath found at the scene of the Made and from Amendolara 9mm caliber regulation pistol.
The defense
For his part, the defender Soto indicated in his account of the social network Twitter that they will be on August 11 and 18 at the headquarters of the Institute of Forensic Sciences of Lomas de Zamora, in charge of the Buenos Aires Attorney General.
He also asked the prosecution that the musician be subjected to a
psychiatric examination
to determine whether or not he could be eventually charged with threats, injuries and attack and resistance to authority.
"We all assume that he is unimpeachable and that he acted in a supposed psychotic outbreak, but that is resolved with an opinion made with a complex expertise on his health, which is fundamental. The prosecutor did not take any action," said Soto.
Regarding the request for exemption from prison of the police officer requested last week, the lawyer explained that the cash,
"at least for the moment, will not go to prison"
since the judge of Guarantees Julio Andrés Grassi, said that "it has not been verified to Today "no" measure of personal coercion with respect to citizen Amendolara ", so he continues to" enjoy his locomotive freedom without any type of restriction. "
On the other hand, a judicial spokesperson indicated that the analysis of the DVR of the security cameras of the house of "Chano" will be carried out at the headquarters that the Attorney General's Office has in the city of La Plata.
