“Legitimate defense”
Initially, Capaldo was also charged with the aggravating circumstance of premeditation, which was later not confirmed. “He acted in self-defense,” says lawyer Gianluca Orlando, who is assisting the defendant. “When they met, Lodeserto had a fake gun with him. Capaldo saw the weapon and thought it was real.”
The lawyer asked for the acquittal or the reformulation of the crime in excessive negligence of self-defense. Capaldo allegedly hid the body for over three months, until it was found by the police, after a long investigation.
The motive
According to what was confessed, the crime in via San Massimo was due to a question of money related to a woman who had had relationships with both of them. Capaldo began to insistently ask Lodeserto for a large sum of money, until he invited him for a clarification, where the confrontation turned into a tragedy.
