"The lawyer filed a request for Emanuele Ragnedda's release last Friday or Saturday. Do I agree? Of course not, anyone would disagree."
When speaking about her son, Nicolina Giagheddu uses her first and last name, as if to distance herself. She had already said that the person responsible for Cinzia Pinna's murder (her son, in fact) "deserves hell." She, overwhelmed by grief, has already handed down her sentence. And she is also critical of a procedural step that is mandatory for any defense attorney with legal expertise. But that's not all.
This afternoon, in the small port of Cannigione, while investigators were combing the family yacht, the Nikitai, for evidence, Ragnedda's mother also spoke about her son's (now released from the hospital) suicide attempt in a cell in the Bancali prison: "When someone doesn't succeed, it means they didn't try hard enough. Anyone who wants to commit suicide, commits suicide. How is he? I don't know, I don't talk to him. I don't talk to him, I don't talk to my son's lawyer, and I don't talk to my son's father."
Nicolina Giagheddu is also caustic about the dynamics of the murder and what happened afterwards: in his confession, the forty-one-year-old said he felt threatened before firing three shots at the thirty-three-year-old from Castelsardo: "I don't believe in defense from an attack. I don't believe it," the woman said. "The investigators will tell us what happened. But I personally don't believe it. My son should have taken responsibility immediately. He shouldn't have been wandering around, he should have called 911 right away. If it had happened to me, I would have called 911 right away. I don't believe in panic, I don't believe in these things."
