“We hope that the trial begins and ends in the name of justice” – comments the deputy of the Green-Left alliance Francesco Emilio Borrelli who will be outside the courthouse tomorrow morning at 10 with the victim's relatives – “Too many times we have had to swallow bitter pills for violence, murders and shootings that have gone unpunished or whose defendants have received light, ridiculous sentences.
The sentence that condemned Valda, the murderer of Francesco Pio Maimone, to life imprisonment was the first sign of a justice that is no longer blind and that restores, at least in part, a bit of serenity to the families of the victims and that nails murderers and criminals to their guilt. This is the path to follow.
In the meantime, we join the Romano family's appeal, Justice For Santo!”
