Although it was reviewed many times in the room for image and facial recognition experts to analyze it, the video that shows the rugbiers leaving the scene of the crime and behind the body of Fernando Báez Sosa (18), continues to cause an impact. .
The parents of the murdered boy should have seen him again at the hearing this Tuesday, this time at the request of one of the four defendants surrounding the body of his son, already on the floor, unconscious.
Ciro Pertossi (229 wanted to clarify a detail.
He stood in front of the Court, asked to be shown the video and identified himself at the scene.
Standing up, she pointed at the screen with a pointer.
"That kick", she began to explain, indicating the movement, the jerk of his foot directed at "the boy's" head.
Ciro Pertossi, like Máximo Thomsen (23) on Monday, and the parents who testified later,
do not name Fernando either.
"That kick, there, I would like to clarify that when I see the boy and I realize he was on the floor, I stopped the kick," he said, describing what he does at that moment: "Notice that I drag him (foot) across the floor to stop the kick", he added.
Once sitting there, prosecutor Juan Manuel Dávila wanted to know more: How did the boy get there? How did he fall to the ground? What did he do after stopping the kick, what did he do?
For each question, calm, Pertossi limited himself to reiterating:
"I am not going to answer."
He also wanted to clarify one of the audios that compromised him, the one that in the group he shared with his friends on vacation, called "Delboca 3", he emphatically asked:
"No one is told anything about this."
"I want to clarify that when I was looking at the phone, seeing what the boys were talking about. They said that there were already people in Zárate who knew that we had fought, that's why I said that: I didn't want my parents to find out," said the brother. de Luciano (21) and son of Mauro Pertossi, who later declared summoned by the defense.
Ciro returned to the bench, his father remembered that he intended to study engineering, that Luciano was studying the CBC in architecture, and when he remembered the episode that led him to be there, he cried.
"It's a disgrace. One believes that things are on track in life and this happens."
"I don't know what to think. I can't believe we are living this moment," he said. "My children are not murderers. They are boys, adolescents, lazy, as we say in the neighborhood. I can't believe it," he added.
He closed his testimony, and then Eduardo Benicelli, father of Matías (23), and María Alejandra Guillén, mother of Enzo Comelli (22), testified.
The three testimonies had in common the absence of any words addressed to Fernando's parents, sitting behind his lawyers, observing the painful story of those parents who preferred to ignore them in their testimony.
Benicelli Sr., with a broken voice, confided that "it was three years with a lot of pain," he said that he never imagined "a situation like this would happen, I don't know how to continue. I hear they call us sons of bitches, I can't find an explanation for it. It's terrible, terrible pain for everyone. They want to cure pain by creating more pain."
Guillen, Comelli's mother, said they suffer "constant agony" and responded to Fernando Burlando, a lawyer for the victim's family:
"I'm not a whore."
Without questions from the parties, he asked the president of the Court, Judge María Claudia Castro, for permission to make a clarification.
"I want to clarify to Mr. Burlando that I am not a whore, it was tremendous to hear that word for me and my family."
It was the response to a phrase that Burlando said at the exit of one of the first hearings, after the version circulated that the defendants had laughed during the testimony of the witness Pablo Ventura, he was asked what he thought: "I am very short time to start insulting everyone. I ask: what are you laughing at, you sons of bitches?" said the lawyer.
Neighbors are waiting for Fernando's parents at the exit of each hearing, people who come up to greet them, to say "strength", and then give their testimony to the journalists who are waiting for them on the other side of the fence that surrounds the building of the Courts of Dolores.
"At no time did the accused tell us anything.
We prefer to be far away from them. Asking for forgiveness does not return our son to us
," said Graciela Sosa, while her husband, Silvino Báez, told
Clarín
: "The victim did not It's them, there's only one victim and it's Fernando, they broke his head."
The day ended with experts summoned by defender Hugo Tomei.
For example, engineer Pablo Rodríguez Romero, who said that messages had been deleted from the phones of the defendants after the raid on the Villa Gesell house, but he did not specify which ones, from whom or how many.
Later, the psychologist Agustín Costa Shaw, who was in charge of interviewing the defendants in La Plata together with other colleagues of his, to offer them assistance, which none accepted, said that when Thomsen arrived "he broke" and that "he had to be contained".
He then said that he did not want to carry out the examination because everything was going to leak.
"He couldn't stop crying," he remarked, of Thomsen.
The same excuse was used by Lucas Pertossi (23), "he said that he could not continue because he did not have confidence because these were the words of judicial authorities who treat him as a murderer."
His cousin Ciro mentioned to Costa Shaw "the lack of confidence in Justice", and Luciano Pertossi (21) "emphasized that it was going to leak."
The expert recounted that "he was told that everything possible would be done so that this did not happen" and that "since he could not guarantee it, he left."
The expert also recounted that Matías Benicelli (23) and Blas Cinalli (21) did not want to speak for the same reasons, while "the only one who did not give any reason and simply said that he did not want to was Ayrton Viollaz (23), who withdrew ".
He described the rugbiers, in that brief meeting, "tense, nervous."
