Pasquale Concas was the last person to see lawyer Elena Morandi alive, and it's true that he robbed her of her computer, but there's no evidence that he killed her or even set fire to her house. The circumstantial evidence is insufficient to warrant a conviction.
For this reason, the Bologna Court of Appeal acquitted the fifty-three-year-old defendant from Tortolì – defended by lawyer Alessandro Betti – of the charges of voluntary homicide, arson, and destruction of a corpse. He was already serving a 24-year sentence for the murder of prostitute Arietta Mata in Gaggio di Castelfranco Emilia (Modena) in early 2018 and had previously been convicted of the murder of a third woman in Olbia in 1994, for the purpose of robbery.
The verdict in the murder of the lawyer found dead in her apartment on Via Boccabadati in Modena on September 29, 2017 , is now final: the Prosecutor General's Office has not appealed.
The defendant was acquitted for the murder after a life sentence, which was overturned by the Supreme Court and remanded for a new appeal. The court, however, sentenced the defendant to one year and four months for stealing the victim's computer.
