"Yesterday was a very hard day for Fernando's parents, but we achieved our goal"
This was said by Fernando Burlando, a lawyer for the victim's family, who asked yesterday along with his team for life imprisonment for the eight rugby players.
"Yesterday it was achieved, it was a very hard day for Fernando's parents, but we achieved the objective of combining testimonial, expert evidence, video footage, recreating the reality of what happened," he said in dialogue with
CNN radio
.
Referring to the defendants, he said: "These people came out to celebrate Fernando's murder and it is reflected in subsequent communications, which is why the details of what has happened have been both interesting and cruel at the same time."

Tomei's strategy outlined during the oral debate was based on demonstrating that the crime of the young law student was in the context of a fight, so that his guidelines could point towards a "homicide in a fight or assault", which according to the article 95 of the Criminal Code provides for a sentence of between 2 and 6 years in prison.

"Guarino and Collazo saw more than they said"
Prosecutor Gustavo García explained why he asked to prosecute for false testimony against the two young people who accompanied the rugby players in Villa Gesell and who testified as witnesses.
"We believe that they omitted to respond to things that they must have seen where they were located. They must have seen more than what they said," García said tonight, leaving the Dolores courts.
And he gave his feedback on the video that Burlando showed, which shows the eight rugbiers at the crime scene."
"We somehow showed Lucas Pertossi by witnesses. I don't know if we were able to show Viollaz, but we had ever seen it in pictures," Garcia said.
"I don't know if I took it as a montage. The court was very clear: the same videos, the only thing different is that they are synchronized," he completed.
The Prosecutor's Office, like the complaint, requested life imprisonment against the eight defendants.

What Fernando Burlando said about the videos he showed
Fernando Burlando after the first day of arguments in the trial for the crime of Fernando Báez Sosa.
"It is not an instance of evidence. We wanted to expose with words and then with images. With the videos that we had been seeing in the last three years, I knew that the court would have a hard time identifying the defendants. With the videos that we provided, we facilitated the task. Not to incorporate it as evidence, but to identify each defendant," explained the lawyer for the Báez Sosa family.
With these records, he also located Luciano Pertossi at the crime scene, the "excited" attitude of Blas Cinalli "about to trigger, to hit. And Viollaz the same."

When asked about his eventual participation in the allegations tomorrow, he said: "Surely one of the two will speak. Depending on what Burlando tells us and how we feel."
"I would tell the judges to think of their children and the neighbors when they decide the sentence."

Máximo Thomsen is seen pointing at Báez Sosa and passing his hand around his neck.
"In clear announcement that you are dead, and so it was," said Burlando.
Then he shows images of the beating, the kicks that -already with Fernando on the ground- unleash the "no".
First they follow Máximo Thomsen, then Enzo Comelli.
They follow Ciro Pertossi, Ayrton Viollaz, Luciano Pertossi.
"Conveying the horror, the savagery and the brutality," Burlando said.
Then he shows the attack from another angle.
They identify Blas Cinalli, Matías Benicelli, Lucas Pertossi, Enzo Comelli.
Also to Ayrton Viollaz, Luciano Pertossi and Máximo Thomsen, from the sidewalk in front.

Fabián Améndola's intervention ends: Hugo Tomei does not want Fernando Burlando to show a video
Hugo Tomei objeta la presencia de un técnico junto a Burlando. "¿Es abogado?", pregunta. Y agrega: "¿Es parte de la prueba? ¿Está editado?".
La jueza le permite responder a Burlando, que explica que su asistente lo ayudará con la proyección de un video: "No está editado, sí una reconstrucción de píxeles para aclarar la imagen".
"Me voy a oponer a la exhibición", dijo Tomei.
"Son los mismos que están en la causa. Solo tiene alguna diferencia para ilustrar mejor mi exposición, no la prueba", contesta Burlando.

Máximo Thomsen "como general" y "los soldados"
Fabián Améndola analizó el papel de líder de Thomsen, a quien comparó con un "general esperando que los soldados cumplieran el plan".
"También estaba Croniquita (por Lucas Pertossi), que iba a tomar las imágenes", agregó.
El abogado siempre remarcó la coautoría del delito: "Había un designio común: quitarle la vida a Fernando Báez Sosa"
25.01.2023 19:43
19:43
"Compartimos la calificación que dio el Ministerio Público"
Lo dijo Fabián Améndola. Esta tarde, más temprano, la Fiscalía había encuadrado el delito en "homicidio doblemente agravado por haber sido cometido con alevosía y con el concurso premeditado de dos o más personas en concurso ideal con lesiones leves reiteradas".
Sostiene que los ocho son coautores, con convergencia intencional evidente "en la forma en que fue ejecutado Fernando Báez Sosa".
"No eligieron cualquier forma de comisión, sino una forma alevosa", siguió.
"Por un lado, se pusieron de acuerdo en matar. En matar entre todos. Además, acordaron la forma en que lo iban a hacer. Entraron a deliberar la forma. No es necesario hablar de división de roles, porque los roles fueron comunes a todos: todos golpearon a Fernando y todos evitaron en algún momento que Fernando recibiera ayuda".

Otro cruce con Hugo Tomei
Tras la mención que hizo Fabián Améndola contra "abogados mediáticos trasnochados", Tomei evaluó que su colega se excedió en las palabras.
"No lo decía por usted, nada más lejano", le respondió Améndola. Y siguió con su exposición.

Ahora, Améndola le responde a Máximo Thomsen y se quiebra
"Otra posibilidad que puede ser alegada. Entre todas las mentiras que dijo, Thomsen dijo que nunca tuvo la intención de causar la muerte de una persona. Esto nos puede llevar a la pretensión de que se entienda que estos hechos, porque se lo escuché a algún jurista televisivo trasnochado, que se vea como homicidio preterintencional", dijo Fabián Améndola.
"Pero el medio no cabe duda de que era razonable para causar la muerte de la víctima", puntualizó, refiriéndose a los lineamientos del Código Penal.
"No cabe duda de que buscaban darle muerte a Fernando Báez Sosa", indicó antes de que se le quebrara la voz, conmocionado al recordar la declaración de Matías Bidonde, uno de los testigos que estuvo en Le Brique.

"En ningún imputado se acreditó estado de ebriedad"
Fabián Améndola repasó los posibles síntomas. "¿Incoordinación motora? No, todo lo contrario. Se manejaron en perfecto estado de conciencia", agregó sobre los chats y las conversaciones que los rugbiers mantuvieron esa noche.
"Tuvieron conductas específicas, como ver si había un patrullero. Ni hablar de la manera en que se pudieron de acuerdo y acecharon a la víctima", añadió.
"En ninguno de los ocho imputados hay situación de estado de ebriedad", concluyó. Pero, agregó, se debe acreditar que ese estado de ebriedad conduce a un estado de inconciencia. "No está acreditado ni se va a poder acreditar".
25.01.2023 19:22

Fabián Améndola, contra la versión de consumo de alcohol
"En audiencia de debate hemos escuchado la version de los imputados en que trajeron la posibliidad de haber actuado en estado de ebriedad", dijo el abogado, sobre un asunto mencionado por algunos testigos que podrían poner en juego la imputabilidad de los acusados (artículo 34 del Código Penal).
"¿Como saber si están en ese estado? No tenemos alcoholemia, que es un guarismo. No importa, todos sabemos que no alcanza para saber si la persona está en estado de ebriedad", siguió.

"Los padres de los imputados vinieron acá a contar lo que les pasaba a ellos. Ninguno sintió empatía por los padres de la verdadera víctima, Fernando Báez Sosa. Ninguno dijo que sus hijos son inocentes. Solo relataron sus padecimientos", arrancó Facundo Améndola el tramo final de su intervención.
Y se quebró al responderle a Héctor Benicelli, padre de Matías Benicelli. "No venimos a curar dolor con más dolor, como dijo. Sino a curar dolor con justicia por Fernando Báez Sosa, a quien le arrebataron la vida cuando estaba de vacaciones", concluyó el abogado.

And another remembered him calling him "black shit," reviewed Facundo Améndola.
"He participated in the criminal plan to end the life of Fernando Báez Sosa," added the lawyer.
