The charges were those of manslaughter and the trial lasted two long years. After a speech lasting more than two hours between the Public Prosecutor and the defense, the lawyer Marco De Gregorio of the Naples bar, the defendant Nicola Corso was acquitted.
The fact does not constitute a crime, this is the verdict. The events occurred in August 2023 on the provincial road 19 of Caserta at the height of via Bugnano, in the hamlet of Casapuzzano di Orta di Atella, in the province of Caserta.
The victim was a cyclist, a 52-year-old Moroccan national, Harmane El Yazid, resident in Succivo, who, coming from a country road adjacent to the extra-urban artery, crossed the artery and ended up being hit.
Acquittal therefore from the charge of manslaughter and for the accused a nightmare ends. The defense therefore held up and managed to demonstrate how Corso had done everything to avoid the tragedy for which he was not at fault.
