"Expired", Lucas Pertossi gave his version of why he used the controversial word that Fernando Báez Sosa's mother will never forget

Lucas Pertossi

, one of the most complicated defendants due to witnesses and messages revealed in the expert reports, was the first of the two rugbiers who asked to testify this Wednesday on the last day of the trial for the murder of

.

In his testimony, he denied having hit Fernando and assured that "there was no plan to assassinate him."

And he also gave his version of why he used the term

with which he referred to Báez Sosa in the chats after his death.

In his account, Pertossi recounted that after the attack on Báez Sosa he spoke with a boy he did not know and pointed out that he told him that a boy who had been attacked "had

."

There, from the mouth of a stranger, he supposedly heard the term, which he later replied to.

"I try to contact my friends and they tell me they are in the market. I go, but they are not there. I call them. There I meet a boy I don't know who tells me what happened. The kid tells me there was a fight outside Le Brique, that they had called an ambulance and

Some said they were going to the house they rented while others were eating at a fast food place.

Blas Cinalli, the second rugby player to testify in this last hearing, also wanted to take off from the brutal beating of Báez Sosa saying that "he did not participate."

And when they asked him about one of the chats where he had indicated that "I think we killed one", he replied: "That's what I heard from the neighbors. I repeated to my friends what was happening. I was not very lucid, I I don't think it had happened that way. I didn't feel like it was me or my group of friends," he testified. 

The audio of the chat with which Pertossi said the controversial "expired" had been shown in the trial six days ago, while Báez Sosa's parents were present, as they did in most of the hearings.

An audio that greatly affected Graciela Sosa, the mother of the murdered boy, who after that hearing recounted the impact it had on a personal level: "Last night I had a difficult night, because I can't get the word 'expired' out of my mind. Also when they said they would celebrate with wine and flowers. It's a very strong pain to hear all that."
