The Court of Assizes of Monza accepted the request for the application of restorative justice for Lorenzo D'Errico, the 38-year-old who ended up in prison for killing his 65-year-old father Carmine with a hammer two years ago in the family home in Cusano Milanino and then burning the body in a disused area in Cerro Maggiore, another municipality in the Milan area.
For the man, therefore, the trial is suspended, with the concomitant start of a "rehabilitation and recovery process" which will be supported in a center in Milan and which will lead to a significant reduction in the sentence.
“He has already started a course with a psychologist in prison in Pavia,” explained the lawyer Luigi Chirieleison, D'Errico's defender with his colleague Romana Perin. Furthermore, he adds, the lawyer «confessed both before and during the trial and this was certainly taken into consideration. We are very satisfied."
The Court of Assizes accepted the defense's request despite the contrary opinion of two of the victim's relatives, as permitted by the Cartabia reform, which provides, in parallel with the psychological process, also a possible "reconciliation" with the victim's relatives, through the of a mediator.
