He spoke so many times he felt it.
So many times the press requested it.
Perhaps it is the only way for him to vent, at least at this time when the crime of her son was re-installed in the media.
It was a shock when it happened, that January of three years ago, and now everything has been removed with the trial process.
Graciela, the mother of Fernando Báez Sosa (18), is another of the strong images of the case.
Her words, after each hearing or in each tribute, remain, reverberate.
"You can't tell her to say anything.
Can a mother who was killed her son be told what to say? Impossible. Her voice is very powerful
," describes Fernando Burlando, the lawyer who leads the representation of the Báez Sosa, who confirms to
Clarín
that Graciela and Silvino, as they always did, will be in the allegations, of course, that they will also remain in Dolores awaiting the verdict (scheduled for 31) and that it will be Fernando's mother who will use her right to say the "last words".
Yes, that right that the defendants have (will any of the rugby players speak?) and that since the promulgation of the Victims Law is also granted to the lawsuit, to the injured party.
It will be another strong moment.
Graciela will sit in the middle of the courtroom, alone, in front of the court, and she will speak, she will say what she comes up with, what she feels, what she wants to say.
It will be on Thursday, after the plea of Hugo Tomei, the defense attorney for the eight defendants.
"We already made the request and it was authorized. The Court there will define how it is organized, if some of the defendants want to make use of their right to speak...
But for Graciela we already asked for it and she will speak. It will be on Thursday "
, confirms Burlando, who this Wednesday will open and close the plea of the complaint, in which Fabián and Facundo Améndola will also participate.
From 9 in the morning of this Wednesday, with a live broadcast through the YouTube channel of the Buenos Aires Supreme Court of Justice, the allegations will begin.
First the prosecution, then the individual victim and finally the defense will present their grounds in relation to the convictions and sentences that they will request for the eight defendants for the murder of Fernando.
The Oral Criminal Court (TOC) 1 of Dolores will first hear the trial prosecutors, Juan Manuel Dávila and Gustavo García.
Both the Public Prosecutor's Office and the victim's lawyers announced that they will continue with the accusation with which the case was brought to trial and in which the eight defendants are considered responsible for the crime of "aggravated homicide due to treachery and the premeditated concurrence of two or more people", which provides for a life sentence, and "injuries", in relation to the attacks suffered by friends of Fernando.
For its part, on Thursday it will be the turn of the technical defense, in charge of the lawyer Hugo Tomei, representative of the defendants Máximo Thomsen (23), Enzo Comelli (22), Matías Benicelli (23), Blas Cinalli (21), Ayrton Viollaz (23), and Luciano (21), Ciro (22) and Lucas Pertossi (23).
Tomei's strategy was already seen during the oral debate and was based on demonstrating that the crime of the young law student was in the context of a "homicide in a fight or assault"
, which according to article 95 of the Criminal Code provides for a penalty from 2 to 6 years.
Then the turn of the "last words" will come.
When that ends, judges María Claudia Castro, Christian Rabaia and Emiliano Lazzari will announce the date of the sentence, which is expected to be January 31.
The oral debate lasted through 13 days of presenting evidence and the testimony of 87 people, including relatives of the victim and the defendants, friends of Fernando, witnesses to the attack, police officers, doctors, firefighters, and health professionals.
The eight defendants are awaiting the arguments housed in the mayor's office of Penal Unit 6 in Dolores, where they were transferred from the Melchor Romero prison on January 1, prior to the start of the trial.
