"She never apologized, not even in the letters she sent to me and my mother, and I'll never answer her until she at least apologizes, I'm against my sister and it's the right side, because the one who died is mine Grandchild".
So Viviana Pifferi, sister of Alessia, the 37-year-old in prison since the end of July 2022 for letting her daughter Diana die of starvation , abandoning her at home for 6 days.
The little girl's aunt, together with her grandmother, i.e. the 37-year-old's mother, are civil parties in the trial against the defendant.
Viviana Pifferi also this morning in the classroom wore a shirt with the photo of the child .
Alessia Pifferi for the second hearing was present in the courtroom, next to the lawyer and accompanied by prison police officers. "It was right not to grant the expert opinion," said Viviana in relation to the judges' decision not to grant it regarding the ability to stand in judgment. " He abandoned her for a week, it can't be a ten-minute fit ," added his sister. "I can no longer define my sister, if that is still my sister," Viviana Pifferi said again.
In the meantime, Alessia Pifferi's defense will request "a psychiatric report" on the ability to understand and want at the time of the events, i.e. when the woman left her daughter Diana for 6 days, between 14 and 20 July 2022, less than a year and a half alone at home making her die of starvation, dehydrated.
At the moment, prosecutor De Tommasi, with his colleague Rosaria Stagnaro, has highlighted that none of the medical reports in the file contain elements on the woman's mental problems. He deposited with the judges "the audio and video of the first interrogation on the evening of July 20 at the police station, where he appears as a person who is always lucid, oriented, capable of describing in detail, without revealing particular emotions, shortly after the discovery of the body of Diana". The well-known chat messages between the woman and a "series of men" have also been deposited, from which "it is inferred that she was never a person with particular problems, but lived according to a very precise, clear and lucid strategy, made up of well-defined life choices to find the sources for one's livelihood".
She left the little girl alone in the house to stay, she herself said when questioned, with her partner (not the child's father).
The judges postponed the trial to May 16 (hearings until July), a date by which prosecutors and civil parties, on the basis of "the Cartabia reform", will have to investigate the "relevance" of the texts they have asked to hear. Green light immediately, however, to those of the defense, including, on the aspect of the autopsy tests, the geneticist Marzio Capra, who was part of the defense pool in the Yara case.
